- * Add text format selector to text elements with the #text_format property.
- *
- * The #text_format property should be the ID of an text format, found in
- * {filter_format}.format, which gets passed to filter_form().
- *
- * If the property #text_format is set, the form element will be expanded into
- * two separate form elements, one holding the content of the element, and the
- * other holding the text format selector. The original element is shifted into
- * a child element, but is otherwise unaltered, so that the format selector is
- * at the same level as the text field which it affects.
- *
- * For example:
- * @code
- *   // A simple textarea, such as a node body.
- *   $form['body'] = array(
- *     '#type' => 'textarea',
- *     '#title' => t('Body'),
- *     '#text_format' => isset($node->format) ? $node->format : filter_default_format(),
- *   );
- * @endcode
- *
- * Becomes:
- * @code
- *   $form['body'] = array(
- *     // Type switches to 'markup', as we're only interested in submitting the child elements.
- *     '#type' => 'markup',
- *     // 'value' holds the original element.
- *     'value' => array(
- *       '#type' => 'textarea',
- *       '#title' => t('Body'),
- *       '#parents' => array('body'),
- *     ),
- *     // 'format' holds the text format selector.
- *     'format' => array(
- *       '#parents' => array('body_format'),
- *       ...
- *     ),
- *   );
- * @endcode
- *
- * And would result in:
- * @code
- *   // Original, unaltered form element value.
- *   $form_state['values']['body'] = 'Example content';
- *   // Chosen text format.
- *   $form_state['values']['body_format'] = 1;
