How to handle text-align in restricted mode

[ikirudennis]

Hi, guys. I had a user file an issue regarding the handling of the text-alignment shortcuts in restricted mode. For example, running the examples on https://txstyle.org/doc/24/text-alignment through python-textile, the output is essentially the same as just running the raw text through a html-entity encoder: the angle brackets are turned into their < and > counterparts, and the paragraph p tags are not handled. I created a quick test for php-textile, and it results in a fatal error:

Stack trace:
#0 /.../php-textile/src/Netcarver/Textile/Parser.php(1994): Netcarver\Textile\Parser->parseAttribsToArray('<', '', true, '')
#1 /.../php-textile/src/Netcarver/Textile/Parser.php(2842): Netcarver\Textile\Parser->parseAttribs('<')

#5 {main}

So this raises the question of: How should text-alignment be handled in restricted mode?

@ikirudennis Hello Dennis, good question and good find.

As restricted mode was really meant for application to comments left of sites, I don't really think the commentators should be able to leave layout hints like this. My vote is for stripping the paragraph alignment out in restricted mode.
