I agree with you of course, but unfortunately I hardly have time to update the plugin with fixes & features, let alone write proper documentation for it. However all functions are ( should be ) commented.
You can find what the filters do quite easily by looking at the files in the filters map. Each filters has it’s own file. The execute() function takes care of handling stuff. Most of them (like keywords filter ) are quite small so it should be easy to figure out.
FAF works with preliminary posts coming from FWP, something like this:
FeedWordpress Post -> FAF -> FAF decides which filter shoulf run -> Filter
and returning the modifed $post var back along this line.
Just let me know if you want to know more. When the version counter starts ticking towards 1.0 documentation will follow as well I hope 🙂

It was mostly little things. The tips cover most of it, but stuff like invalid characters (can’t put “http://” in the keyword filters, for example, as “/” is not allowed) and other little things that pop up.
The trouble is that most of the questions are very specific and only occur when I run into them, of course!
Well, that’s a bug and you should report them here right away!
Also little things that are annoying or could be better are to be placed here so I can improve the plugin. 🙂

I didn’t think of it as a bug… more a “limitation”. 🙂
Another example is being able to remove whole URLs, not just HTML markup. For example, taking out “http://wordpress.org” as text, as well as a clickable URL.
Ads, too. It’s really annoying when a syndicated feed has piles of ads in it that get reproduced and mess with layout. Though that’s tougher to do and also raises some questions on ethical use, I suspect!
Unwanted limitations, the same.
Why don’t you use the remove html filter for ads?

Good point on the ads, I don’t remember seeing any since adding your filters (though there were tons before). My bad. 🙂
Of course, typed URLs still appear, as noted above.
Just realised I’d never said “thank you” – it’s a great plugin and has made things a lot smoother and cleaner on the sites where I have it installed. Great stuff!
