[textile] textile in excerpt ignoring laws of physics

minusf · 2009-04-02 17:57:50

hi there,

dear moderator, before you delete this post or move it, hear me out.

yes, i have read the faq, and i have reported numerous bugs before
on the textile site.

have a look at the following highly experimental under constraction
page please.
(no other link will work as of yet anyway)

all the text on the page comes from excerpts and i have already
vented a bit of frustration about textile in excerpts being wrapped
in paragprah tags…

please note the right side column, it should contain 3 statements in bold,
but instead you will find only 2 and one actually enclosed verbatim in asterisks.

i tried everything i could think of. remove space, remove non-english chars,
it is always the same. it just defies the laws of physics. as you can see,
the very same excerpt contains 2 more of this parsed correctly, so textile
is not turned off for the article. i have no plugins installed whatsoever.

after pasting all of it into the textile site, it renders correctly, obviously.

so first one to figure this out also wins an imaginary iPod :]

It would be useful to see a tag trace

minusf · 2009-04-02 21:53:27

is there textile output in the tag trace?
it seems a bit more high level

btw, as is apparent from the trace, since last writing
i have installed 2 plugins, upm_textile and upm_textile_toggle.

the issues do not seem to be related as the bug is there
regardless of the plugins’ presence, i think it’s an obscure
textile bug of somesort. but i have been wrong before :]

I’ve always wanted an imaginary iPod :)

My guess is that it’s the   preceding the first *, as far as I know it only works when there is no other character before the starting *.

well, i’ll be damned…

copy_paste from wordpad…
just one time when i am not working from unix this kind of thing happens :]

i’d say it is still a bug in a way and the proper course of handling it would
be in my opinion to filter it out when saving the article and be replaced
with   or perhaps a simple space (but i prefer the former)
this character in a web page is a fish out of water, it has nothing to do there.

incidentally i have once started a thread for a textile equivalent of  .
unfortunately my favourite contender: ~ was already taken (but i personally
have never used it in textile, i think it was wasted). some languages, like most
slavic ones, make use of   quite often actually but it’s also used in
english typography. unfortunately as far as i know there is still nothing like this
in textile. a shame shame really :[

i gave up soon in hunting this down, i hang my head in shame :]
you are the winner.
