Kick ass Brad. I can't wait to "unleash" it!]]>

This is great! Thanks.

A minor nit/question on syntax: the mixture of round, square and curly brackets?

I guess there is no way to try to standardize on one set. It seems to me one of those tiny little things that people will always be forgetting and screwing up and wasting time with. A small usability thing.

I like the period delimiter. I was trying to get Dean's attention a while back about that old war horse, Digital Standard Runoff (DSR). the troff/nroff tool on VAXs. It was my first text processing tool and it still rings with a lot of conmonsensical consistency and utility. In Runoff, the commands began with a period in column one and were terminated with a semi-colon. It was a very powerful utility and would have been a real boon for generating xHTML, etc.

Great work and thanks for squashing some angle brackets!

I like MT-Textile, and it's great that Dean and you both working on the syntax. So we would have standardised Textile implementations. :)]]>

ed: Yeah, I know. Lotsa punctuation. But each serves a different purpose. The parenthesis for class/id, the brackets for language, the curly braces for doing style attributes. You can't just use one set of delimiters for everything or Textile may not know what you're really trying to do. It also makes it easier for the writer to see what is what.]]>

It seems like the general idea of Textile is to use it for one-time HTML generation only. However, I can see situations where a user might want to go back and edit their document, and if they wrote in in textile they won't want to look at a bunch of machine-generated HTML. So for hep I'm planning to store the original textile document when possible. This means that I need a mimetype to associate with textile documents.

Do you have a mimetype already? If not, any suggestions? text/textile? application/textile? text/vnd.textile?

Urls in blockquotes are not working in the beta.

Also, what if a blockquote has two paragraphs? Currently when using bq. if i put a two line breaks then the bq ends, so if I want two paragrapghs in the bq i have to manually put the tags, or use

around them. In the bq. tag,there needs to be a way to have paragraphs.

Is format_inline intended to be a public interface? If I have some text that I don't want to be split into paragraphs (ie, the intended contents of a blog article's 'title'), is it legal to call format_inline() on it?]]>

Textile.pm works fine with perl 5.6.0 for me on
my home computer. But my hosting service is
running perl 5.004_04. perl -w Textile.pm gives
me:
/=[a-zA-Z0-9./])
# Match the leading part (proto://hostname, or just hostname)
(/: unmatched () in regexp at Textile.pm line 160.

I'd appreciate any help that would enable me to rewrite all such syntax to work with perl
5.004_04

There doesn't seem to be any way to center an image on a page. You can float either way, but not center.

That said... this rocks! I just discovered Textile yesterday and I think I'm in love.

First, the congratulions. Man, this is real good even for someone who knows XHTML. Second, the problem (lol).

I'm having failures at rebuilding. It gets to "Rebuilding entry: Individual" and doesn't change to "Rebuilding entry: Monthly" as expected.

I deleted every file of the plugin and now MT works fine, just like before. I wish I could tell you my Perl and Apache versions but I'm not so damn good at this.

Any idea?

hey. first of all, thanks for great plugins! I re-wrote the textile plugin a little since I wanted the acronym-tag to be applied to small letters as well as caps.

but, I'm not very into how to rewrite plugins so I wonder if there is a way to get for an example, the acronym-tag, to work with other characters exept a-z, like �, � and �. I tried, but didn't succeed. :)

Okay, Brad Choate's MT-Textile plugin has now been installed. The theory would be that this will certainly create a valid XHTML structure, not that writing XHTML is a chore :p But it'll be interesting to see if this makes it easier to mark up entries....
