If you&#39;re working with D7, you&#39;ll want to use #type = text_format (see <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/7#text_format">http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/7#text_format</a>) and that will give you what you want.<br>
<br>Otherwise, you can use check_markup() or related functions to process the text with the format.<br><br>-Randy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 6:08 PM, Pooya <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:pooya.source@gmail.com">pooya.source@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
