Macros and Regex all the way - yes I know I can use the regex already in Smarty but I like MTRegex :P

Well, Macros, but really, Paginate. I'd be MT 3.11 all the way if there were a clever PHP-based way to paginate my category archives (because I'm using category archives as my main archives). Just thought I'd mention it, because I know the discussion of "which plugins should we update next" is surely raging - I'm voting with my mouse.

Brad, since I implemented Smarty in my MT 2.x templates based on your how-to, I'd sure like to hear about how to migrate from that setup to MT 3.1x dynamic rendering.

I'll be converting my own Smarty blog to be fully dynamic before long. I'll take some notes as I go...

I really liked the php handling of MT 3.1 out of the box in testing, but have still found myself waiting for your Textile2 to work for it, or for me to get the ingenuity to solve as to why it errors. I hope I am not the only one failing with dynamic building with it. That textile2 plugin is the greatest thing for me, taking precendence over anything else in movable type, textpattern, blosxom or wordpress for me. It is all textile2 for me, the dynamic templates can wait. I kind of like static entries in principal, and like dean and your markup well enough to stick it out.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to your notes!

Speaking of dynamic templating in the core MT product, do you plan to extend it to cgi features like search results and comment preview, or should I look into the following hacks?

Brad,

I'm updating the Mrs. site (dooce.com) and running into hoary plug-in issues. All of her posts used Textile... Textile doesn't work so good with dynamic publishing. Is there a way (or a script) to change all posts to "Convert Line Breaks"??

Also, any idea about your supplemental category plug-in being ported??

You are a rocker.

Speaking of, we're having weird character problems with 3.x. For instance, youâ€™ve is created instead of you've (with a proper apostrophe slant). Seen that before? Is it a plugin problem, or MT itself?

My vote? MTMacro! What an absolutely wonderful plugin!!! I am devastated at having to disable dynamic publishing at the mo... so, I would dearly love to see it in php.

Hats off to you Brad!

All my hundreds of existing blog entries use the textile2 plugin for MT 2.6. If I understand correctly, that means none of the dynamic publishing features of MT 3.x will work unless either (1) I convent all the archives to another formatting system (ouch!) or (2) you (or someone else, but who else would that be?) release an MT3.x version of textile compatible with existing textile2 entries, *or* a tool to convert them to another formatting system that works with MT3, where the ppreferred formatting scheme seems to be "markdown". You can say, "You should have thought about that before you enterred all your content in a format dependent on my plugin", and you would be right... but now it would be prohibitively labor-intensive to convert all my archives manually, and markdown doesn't seem nearly as intuitive to me anyway. So I vote for an MT3/dynamic publishing version of textile2, if and only if it is compatible with existing MT2.6/textile2 entries.

I guess I am half retarded this evening or missing something, but it seems that a minor bit of additional tweaking should put me closer to having all of my textiling goodness work out for the site, which will ultimately...
