Totally newbie

You would think I would know this already. I was trying to display some drupal custom content types that contained some fields that are maintained using a wysiwyg editor and the html that the editor was using was being escaped by drupal.

This was a simple matter to fix, I went into the admin/content types and configured the content type field to be "Filtered text (user selects input format) "

When I first saw this option, I thought that this would allow the user to choice between using html/plain/php code. I was mistaken.
