# Advanced Content Filter Help
The advanced Content Filter uses Symfony's Expression Language.
This help page includes a summary of [the Symfony's Expression Language documentation page.](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/expression_language/syntax.html)
## Basics
The advanced content filter matches each post that is about to be displayed against each enabled rule you set.
A rule is a boolean expression that should return either `true` or `false` depending on post variables.
If the expression using a post variables returns `true`, the post will be collapsed and the matching rule name will be displayed above the collapsed content.
A post will be collapsed if at least one rule matches, but all matching rule names will be displayed above the collapsed content.
## Expression Syntax
### Supported Literals
- **strings** - single and double quotes (e.g. `'hello'`).
- **numbers** - e.g. `103`.
- **arrays** - using JSON-like notation (e.g. `[1, 2]`).
Control characters (e.g. ``\n``) in expressions are replaced with whitespace. To avoid this, escape the sequence with a single backslash (e.g. ``\\n``).
