What are Joomla content filters, and how do you implement them?

Answer: Joomla content filters are security features that sanitize user input to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. They define what type of HTML code is allowed in articles, modules, and other content.

To implement them:

1. Go to System -> Global Configuration.
2. Click the Text Filters tab.
3. Choose a filtering level for different user groups.
4. Optionally, customize allowed HTML tags and attributes.

Higher filtering levels are more restrictive. Customizing tags requires HTML knowledge and careful consideration to avoid security risks.
