GDN_Comment - When BBCode or HTML Format?

Hi all,

When a new comment ist posted, the "Format" column in GDN_Comment receives the value BBCode or HTML?

Does anyone know what's the reason for adding this value?
Does this information speed up the rendering of every comment for the Advanced Editor because it doesn't need to iterate through the options HTML, Markdown, etc. ?

Thank you,
phreak

    That is the formatting method used in Gdn_Format to render the Body of the comment. The end result is always HTML, but all formatters (including HTML) need to get magic content like emoji, links, and mentions converted.

    There's no automatic detection possible that wouldn't compromise performance.

    Usually it is the config value of Garden.InputFormatter. This may be one of

    • Html
    • Markdown
    • BBCode
    • Text
    • TextEx
