Hi guys,

I'm just wondering, is the entry in the codex for get_the_content
still relevant where it tells you to add:

<?php
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);
?>

It says it hasn't been added to the core yet. Has it been added and
the codex just hasn't been updated yet?

I don't see that note on the Codex page.

But to answer your question: get_the_content() returns the content *before* filtering. So, if you are planning to send it out to the browser at some point, then yes, you probably want to do the steps above.

The template function the_content() does exactly that. It calls get_the_content(), then apply_filters(), then does the str_replace() to fix any parsing problems that might happen if you're trying to keep strict XML parsing.
