After a complete rewrite, I’m pleased to announce the release of PreFormatted 2.0 beta. This is a plugin for WordPress 1.5 that reduces page rendering time by pre-formatting post content, excerpts and comments when they are saved to the database rather than formatting them every time a page is viewed. The original version of PreFormatted (primarily developed for the WPFF/LightPress project) suffered from a few design limitations but these have been eliminated in version 2.0.

The highlights:

• “Pre-formatted” data is now saved to the database separately from the original data.
• Generates pre-formatted data when unformatted content is viewed for the first time.
• Compatible with other formatting plugins such as Markdown and Textile.
• Extends LightPress formatting by allowing the above to be used. Note that a LightPress plugin (to be released soon) is required.

For more information please visit the PreFormatted plugin page.

Special thanks go out to Denis de Bernardy who provided numerous suggestions, testing and a patch or two. You can see PreFormatted 2.0 in action on both his site and mine.
