Go for the force_format option. Thanks!
As for a centrally controlled list of formatting options, I think that's a brilliant idea.
All we need is a list of:
- label for the drop-down
- help text (would be nice with a '?' link right next to the format select box, which opens a window listing the formats with helpful examples and help text) -- uh-oh, need to solve our help system issue.
- mime_type for storing the chosen format in the DB
- procs for converting:
- from the format to HTML
- from the format to Plaintext
The procs may need to support truncation. I forget the details, even though I just recently revamped how conversion and truncation was done in 5.1
Thanks for your contribution, Andrew.
