How do you get formatted content of a post using the WordPress API?

by

Post’s object field contains raw content as it is stored in database. This should format it to how it appears when retrieved with template tags:

$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);

This filters runs number of formatting functions, including shortcodes parsing. Something close to this:

>>>>>   the_content
8   (object) WP_Embed -> run_shortcode (1) 
    (object) WP_Embed -> autoembed (1) 
10  wptexturize (1) 
    convert_smilies (1) 
    convert_chars (1) 
    wpautop (1) 
    shortcode_unautop (1) 
    prepend_attachment (1) 
11  capital_P_dangit (1) 
    do_shortcode (1)
