Overview

Text formatters are scripts that can be applied to certain types of fields in Symphony to transform or format their content before saving. A set of Markdown text formatters is included in Symphony’s core, and additional text formatters (such as Textile or WYSIWYG editors) are available as extensions.

Usage

Text formatters are applied to fields during section creation and editing. If a field’s type allows for text formatters to be applied, a Text Formatter field will be included in its settings pane. Textarea is the only default field type that allows text formatters to be applied to its content.

Details

Symphony includes three text formatters by default: Markdown, Markdown Extra, and Markdown Extra plus SmartyPants.
