This plugin is a wrapper for TextFormatter, a library that supports BBCode, HTML and other markup via plugin. Handles emoticons, censors words, automatically embeds media and more.
TextFormatter is a high-quality plugin for GetGrav.org extending it's page processing options by using the TextFormatter library. It supports BBCode, Markdown, HTML and other markup via plugins. The library is in PHP, with a JavaScript port also available for client-side preview. It comes with a thorough documentation and has a rich feature set already natively supported. This plugin exposes almost all options of them and gives you the full control over the configurations in the admin panel or in the page header.
If you are interested in it seeing this plugin in action you can tryout a demonstration. Here is a screenshot on a live system:

# Performs generic, regexp-based replacements
preg:
enabled: true
replace:
# <pattern>: <replacement>
match:
# <pattern>: <tagname>If you need to change any value, then the best process is to copy the textformatter.yaml file into your users/config/plugins/ folder (create if doesn't exist), and modify it there. This will override the default settings.
If you want to alter the settings for one or a few pages only, you can do so by adding page specific configurations into your page headers, e.g.
textformatter: falseto switch off TextFormatter plugin just for this page or
textformatter:
bbcodes:
enabled: false
to temporarily disable BBCodes for the current page. By default TextFormatter only formats text inside Grav specific links:
[plugin:textformatter](...)If you like to process the entire page with TextFormatter you may set
process:
textformatter: true
in your page header.
The Parsedown libary used by Grav to parse Markdown doesn't handle HTML elements very well. In some cases when block elements are on one line, all content below will be ignored (see the issue #44 for some details). However only Parsedown Extra is affected. Rendering content in regular Parsedown is fine.
If you experience such an issue, it is recommended to disable Parsedown Extra in the page header via
markdown:
extra: falseand use Twig instead, if necessary.
TextFormatter provides a Twig filter to process contents by the TextFormatter library. To do that, place the following line of code in the theme file you wish to add the TextFormatter plugin for:
{{ page.content|textformatter }}
You can pass arguments to the plugin filter, namely the same arguments as available in the textformatter.yaml file. For example
{{ page.content|textformatter({'bbcodes': {'enabled' : false}}) }}
will disable the support for BBCodes.
