Using the valid_tags property
How-To Posted by Chris Withers on Thursday March 22, @06:53PM
from the now-your-site-is-safe(r) dept.
Squishdot 1.0.0 enables you to limit what tags people can include in their postings. This article explains how...

Basically, you need to add a property called valid_tags, of type lines to your Squishdot Site object. The updater will do this for you.

This needs to contain one html tag per line, in lowercase, and without the angle brackets or /'s. You don't need to include the closing tag, if there is one.

These are that tags that won't be stripped from postings to the Squishdot Site. Everything else, along with JavaScript and other nasties will be stripped.

The default tags, if no valid_tags property is present, are b,a,i,br and p allowing you to do:
<B></B><A HREF=""></A><I></I><BR><P></P>

Big thanks to Itamar for providing the bulk of the code to do this :-)
