The filter module allows you to configure formats for text input for your site. For example, you may want a filter to strip out malicious HTML from users' comments.

Despite the name "filter," the module not only lets you keep out text you don't want but also lets you enhance the text you let in. So, for example, you can use the filter module to make URLs linkable even if users enter them in an unlinked format.

When users create or edit content, they can choose between the available input formats. You can configure which formats are available to which user roles, as well as choose a default input format. You can also create new input formats. And you can configure each input format with use your choice of filters.

For more information please read the configuration and customization handbook Filter page.
