By default, the field will be filtered using it's type, eg VARCHAR fields are filtered using lib.koowa.filter.string, INT fields using koowa:filter.integer, etc.

You can override that to use a different filter, such as koowa:filter.html. The easiest place to do that is to use annotations in the field comment in your db schema definition:

`description` text NULL COMMENT '@Filter("html")',

You can even have multiple filters:

@Filter("html, tidy")

(Note: The Tidy filter will do nothing if the Tidy library is not installed.)

It gets really interesting if you create your own filters:

@Filter("com://admin/foo.filter.serialnumber")

and in administrator/components/com_foo/filters/serialnumber.php:

class ComFooFilterSerialnumber extends KFilterAbstract
{
    protected function _validate($value) {
       // return true if the value is a valid serialnumber
    }
     protected function _sanitize($value) {
       // return a cleaned up version of $value
    }  
}
