content filters architecture

[mvlcek]

Mosty understood, but I am not referring to only hypothetical cases, or even problem cases.

In actual cases, there exists an issue, a dilemma of sorts, where plugins are limited by the fact that they can't be ran post processing when using inline replacers. Again, my search results ( a plugin ) shows dynpages tags, that's a real problem not a hypothetical one. Ideally it would show final processed content with all content filters processed. There lies a limitation.

If you are writing about I18N Search, unless you use special (I think still undocumented) excerpt features, it was intended to show text only. And it is a different issue as the plugin would have to process the content of each search result separately and then create the excerpt from the final HTML.

If a plugin requires the entire final content of the page, how could that be achieved?
What if there are multiple plugins that need the final content of the pages.

See my previous post, last code example.
