Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
About Textile – I’ve never understood why Textile is not just replaced with f.e. htmlArea? (or some other wysiwyg editor) …
Haven’t we been over that one already? Granted, I’ve replaced Textile with Markdown on my personal site, but really WYSIWYG is just horrific overkill for this application, not to mention bad UI in some cases.
You cooin’ with my bird?

After using Textile for two years now, I prefer it to the wywiwyg editors. I find it much easier to use textile tags than clicking around another interface.

I fully agree.

First was Textile, then Textpattern.
Do you remember that this is Textpattern forum, the web publishing tool by Dean Allen, the original Textile author?
That’s the reason. Textile is brilliant. Pure genious.

Jeremie: I suspect this is a workaround (hmm) for the bug where unescaped i18n characters confuse textile. This has to do with the way TExtile recognizes text boundaries.

Etz, I was hoping one of the three Djinn answer that, since we got them here :)

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Well Musings of an Engineer has been bumped to 1.0RC3 with nary a problem. In fact fewer problems than RC2! (which never really saw the light of day on MOAE). Looks great.
EDIT: Alright there was ONE problem, but it was so minor as to not be a problem. I had a list where I’d specified UL as a wraptag, and LI as a break tag, and had to take that part out, because the link listing actually worked right the first time :). So technically I was unfixing a workaround not fixing a problem.

I wouldn’t want to publish anything without Textile. Period.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Textile produces far better markup in most cases than htmlarea. Smaller and more standards-compliant. Better typography too (e.g., correct open/closed double quotes, em- and en-dashes).

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Well, it’s obious that any kind of “htmlarea-like” would have to produce textile code, isn’t it ?

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
personally, i’d love to see this integrated somehow..

textile is good but i believe that wysiwyg can be even better if done right since it’s inherently more intuitive to use – esp for non-techies.
