#99 — Formats other than plain-text allowed where they should not be

If you go to the Plone Control Panel -> Markup and enable Alternative Formats then these formats are provided in a number of fields where they should not be. These fields are:

Help Center : Description
Help Center : Copyright
FAQ : Detailed Question

(whew!)

I've not tested it, but I assume that supplying an "allowable_content_types = ('text/plain',)" for fields which can only be plain-text should fix this. The ExtensibleMetadata schema in Archetypes used by the core content-types supplies this argument for the Description field, but PHC supplies it's own Description fields so they don't pick-up this setting.

As Wichert points out, any of the fields that are used as a Description must be in plain-text:

We are using quite a bit of ReST formatted text in the PHC install for the Grok web site, so I am willing to commit a fix w/ tests to SVN if this change is accepted but folks are too busy to implement it.
