Fetching post data with formatting

[magnusvhendin]

So I'm creating a plugin to use a hidden category (named "Help") to store an FAQ. Basically any admin can add a topic to the category and the first post will be the content.

So my custom route /help gets all topics passed to the template but I just get the post content unformatted. So no new lines, no image tags etc. I believe it's Markdown. So how do I get the content with formatting?

This is what I'm using right now:

Controllers.renderHelpPage = (req, res) => {
	let fetchedTopics;
	let fetchedPosts;
	async.waterfall([
		(next) => {
			categories.getAllCategories(req.uid, next);
		},
		(_categories, next) => {
			const helpCategory = _categories.find(category => category.name === 'Help');
			categories.getCategoryById({
				cid: helpCategory.cid,
				set: 'cid:' + helpCategory.cid + ':tids',
				reverse: false,
				start: 0,
				stop: 100,
				uid: req.uid,
			}, next);
		},
		(_helpCategory, next) => {
			const tids = _helpCategory.topics.map(topic => topic.tid);
			topics.getTopics(tids, req.uid, next);
		},
		(_topics, next) => {
			fetchedTopics = _topics;
			const pids = _topics.map(topic => topic.mainPid);
			posts.getPostsData(pids, next);
		},
		(_posts) => {
			fetchedPosts = _posts;

			const data = fetchedTopics.map(topic => ({
				title: topic.title,
				content: fetchedPosts.find(post => post.tid === topic.tid).content,
			}));

			res.render('help', {
				items: data,
			});
		},
	]);
};

Thanks!

Turned out I was fetching the post data wrong. I was using getPostData when i should've been using getPostsByPids.
