Example XML field definition: 

<field name="mytextvalue" type="text" default="Some text" label="Enter some text" description="" size="10" />

Use the integer filter to ensure that letters types get stripped when the form is processed. 

<field name="myintvalue" type="text" default="8" label="Enter some text" description="Enter some description" filter="integer" />

Use the raw filter to ensure that html code is preserved when the form is processed. 

<field name="myhtmlvalue" type="text" default="" label="Enter some text" description="Enter some description" filter="raw" />
