Apply attribute to a span - what am I doing wrong?
Hi,
This code at the bottom of classTextile.php:
$textile = new Textile; echo $textile->TextileThis("%{color:red}the fourth the fifth%");
Produces: <p><span>{color:red}the fourth the fifth</span></p>
However, if I paste %{color:red}the fourth the fifth% into the form on the textism page http://textism.com/tools/textile/index.php it works fine, colouring the text red.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
Leon

I had the exact same problem just earlier today.

Re: Apply attribute to a span - what am I doing wrong?
While trying out some of the nifty Textile abilities that were shown on this great reference site, I ran into a problem with assigning a class name to a span in my Textpattern install. I tried to write:
<blockquote><pre><code> %(photodescription)hot, humid day%</code></pre></blockquote>
to achieve this HTML:
%(photodescription)hot, humid day%
but instead, get this:
<blockquote><pre><code>
< span >(photodescription)hot, humid day< /span >
</code></pre></blockquote>
with the class still in parentheses. Yet it works fine on Dean’s Textile demo page. I have Textpattern 4.0.3. Is it possible I don’t have an up-to-date Textile or something?

OK, to elaborate on zem’s statment, this works with a version of Textile stored here:
http://svn.textpattern.com/development/4.0/textpattern/lib/classTextile.php
Perhaps the classes and style part should be removed from the USAGE text at the top of the Textile that comes with Textpattern 4.0.3? It’s pretty confusing to have a USAGE statement that doesn’t actually work … ;-)

We can’t change the contents of a release without also changing the version number.

Re: Apply attribute to a span - what am I doing wrong?
from the very beginning i’m working with textile v.2.0beta (and txp v.4.0.3) and i continually get the same outcome as mattw in #3. i obviously had no typos in my tests, as i copied the examples from the textpattern help, but got the same results as before. so, “what am i doing wrong” literally enticed me into this thread! ;)
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
