Using Text Filters in Joomla 4

Joomla 4 text filters can be used to allow or limit what HTML tags or attributes groups can use within the text editors. Joomla includes some default filter settings that are typically adequate for most situations. But, there may be times when you want to block or allow additional HTML tags or attributes. 

For example, you may have discovered that a specific tag does not work well with your CSS and you want to block people from using it. 

This guide will explain how to use Joomla Text Filters to limit or allow HTML tags and attributes in Joomla.
