Problem
In drupal textarea field, it was always a pain to see the two links:
- Text format showing list of available format, even if user is allowed to use one format only
- And a link of About Text formats
Solution
Drupal 8 provided an easy but hidden way to hide this. Do following steps:
- Goto your content type
- Click on Manage Form Display
- For example, body is the field
- Click on settings icon button on right hand side of body field
- A small form will open up
- Check on option - Hide the help link About text formats
- Check on option - Hide text format guidelines
- Save the content type
- Clear cache and open the form
See the final form
Perfect Solution
Note: You did hide the two unwanted options in the form. But, you can still see the drop down of formats. This should be fine for most of the users. But, I did not want this. I did not want to confuse my users.
Install module Allowed Formats Do following steps:
- Goto your content type
- Edit the field, example body field
- In edit form, you will see a section of Allowed Formats
- Select your desired format. I selected Full Html
- Save the form
- Open your form, and you will see only your text area.
Hope it helps.
