 * Hello Eliot,
 * How are you doing? I noticed today that the last update broke the format parameter.
   Set true or false doesn’t making any difference… Could you verify this, please?
 * Thanks!
    Kind Regards.

 * Hello,
 * I tested the _format_ parameter, and it’s working correctly on my end. Could 
   you tell me how you’re using it?

 * Hello,
 * I’m using Version 2.0.2 and also can’t get the format parameter to work when 
   used with content words.
    Here’s my shortcode:
 *     ```
       [loop type="post" count="1"]
       [field title] ([content field="date"])
       [content words="3000" more="true" format="true" ]
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * You’re right, I found that trimming content by words will strip the formatting.
   In the latest plugin update, I changed the behavior so it will format before 
   trimming by words. Please let me know if that solves it for you.

 * After some user feedback, I changed back the behavior of the _words_ parameter
   in the current plugin update. By default, trimmed content will not be formatted,
   so you will need to add _format=”true”_ if you need it.
