Expose an option to hide the text format information of textarea fields

Update:

✨ Allow text field to enforce a specific text format Fixed allows hiding the text format information, when only one format is allowed to be used for the text_format element.

But it leaves the 'About text formats' link behind. #2544188: Change the label "About text formats" if only one format is available → is looking at improving the UX when that shows without the format selector.

None of these cover the possibility of hiding the 'About text formats' link altogether (whatever it might get labelled). I guess this issue might probably still be need to wait for that latter issue to be resolved though.

I think that

1. the scope of the current issue is unclear, whether it is referring to the text format selector or the text format information link

2. hiding the link but not the selector is not a 95% use case and should not be a core option

3. this issue should be about giving the option to hide both the selector and the link together, which is relevant if:
- a. the default format is different for different users, but you don't want them to choose
- b. only a single format is allowed, so no selector is shown, but you still want to hide the link

4. even with this reduced scope, I have doubts about whether this is a common enough use case for this setting to belong in core

I don't think it should be postponed, if it should be open at all. It's independent of the issue of the link's wording.

Yeah I think I’m inclined to agree. Even if there is an outstanding feature that could be implemented, it’s possibly for too narrow a use case, and so not worth supporting in core.

The work already done in core to allow configuring allowed text formats, plus the possible relabelling, could be sufficient for core.

I’m going to be brave and just close this issue - it can always be reopened if there really is enough support for it, though it’s scope would then need clarifying.
