[Solved] How to format user comments with Textile Restricted?

[rash]

Hi all,

I’m using the Textile module for all of my own and most of my client’s sites and that works just fine. For the first time I have the need to allow a bit basic formatting in a user input textarea delivered by the PW comment system and I don’t know how to "textilize" the comment text. The line in my comments output:

$text = $comment->getFormatted('text');

getFormatted() replaces double line breaks with </p><p> and offers the option to nest the whole thing in opening and closing <p> tags. So I will probably have to get unformatted text instead and format it with Textile Restricted. I guess this will be very easy, but can’t find the right method for it.

Got it now – a bit embarassing how long it took:

$text = $comment->text;
$modules->TextformatterTextileRestricted->formatValue(new Page(), new Field(), $text);

Or, in my case, as I format the comments inside a function:

$text = $comment->text;
wire('modules')->TextformatterTextileRestricted->formatValue(new Page(), new Field(), $text);

Suddenly the day showed a brighter coloring.
