I'm considering supporting both Textile and Markdown on a current project. I would prefer not forcing users to choose one or the other. Is there a way to auto-detect which the user is using? How would you go about this? I'd like to find / develop both a JavaScript and a PHP solution so I can provide live previews as well as process the u...
I'm scraping a static html site and moving the content into a database-backed CMS. I'd like to use Textile in the CMS. Is there a tool out there that converts HTML into Textile, so I can scrape the existing site, convert the HTML to Textile, and insert that data into the database? ...
I'm going to be implementing a lightweight formatting language (probably Textile, maybe Markdown) in a project I'm working on, and I'm wonder how best to store it in the database. If the user is able to edit the content they're posting, it makes sense to me that the original, non-converted markup be stored so that the user doesn't have ...
Now i ran into some stupid situation. I want the users to be able to use textile, but they shouldn't mess around with my valid HTML around their entry. So I have to escape the HTML somehow. html_escape(textilize("</body>Foo")) would break textile while textilize(html_escape("</body>Foo")) would work, but breaks various Textile features...

I'm using v2.0 of ClassTextile.php, with the following call: $testimonial_text = $textile->TextileRestricted($_POST['testimonial']); ... and all of my apostrophes (ex. It's hot in here) are being translated to ASCII ‘ (which is a single quote, which slopes the wrong way). What it should be is ASCII ’. I've also tried usi...

I need a javascript library to convert structured ascii text to html on the fly.

I'm using python Textile to store markup in the database. I would like to yield the following HTML snippet: (<em>asdf</em>) The obvious doesn't get encoded: (_asdf_) -> <p>(_asdf_)</p> The following works, but yields an ugly space: ( _asdf_) -> <p>( <em>asdf</em>) Am I missing something obvious or is this just not possi...

Can I restrict a specific "rule of conversion" from Textile markup into HTML markup? What should do to prevent such a text to be converted? p<. align left Is there a convenient way (maybe by means of Redcloth?) to create a proxy for a Textile -> Proxy -> HTML conversion? In the proxy I'd like to apply the class attribute with a specifi...

I put the code: <p> <%= f.label :message %><br /> <%= f.textile_editor :message -%> </p> but Rails return an error, pointing I don't have a proper method: undefined method `tex...
There are several good Javascript editors for Markdown / Textile (e.g.: http://attacklab.net/showdown/, the one I'm using right now), but all I need is a Javascript function that converts a string from Markdown / Textile -> HTML and back. What's the best way to do this? (Ideally it would be jQuery-friendly -- e.g., $("#editor").markdown...
I have text input I get from a variety of sources which is not HTML but is simple text. I've tried using Redcloth to fit this with HTML tags to that it integrates nicely into my site, but it doesn't get bullet points or paragraphs... I checked around an found some text helpers built in, but those also didn't do the job. http://api.ru...
I've been looking around for an existing python library in the style of textile to format text for users to enter. If it was just me entering it, just textile would have been fine, but since the input is meant for a django app that will take user input and display it, while still maintaining some formatting. I managed to find little lo...
