Obtaining stand-alone Textile

cake · 2004-10-05 18:54:06

This may seem like a stupid question, but I’m stumped! How can one obtain a stand-alone version of Textile to use in a PHP app?

I’ve gone to the Textile page: http://textism.com/tools/textile/

There’s no download link, no information on how one can obtain it. There is a donate link for PayPal, but there’s nothing to indicate that if I make a donation (which I’d be happy to do, if it works out for me) I can download the file(s).

Is there a secret handshake I need to know? :)

The Textile shorthand syntax can be found in severel different versions
you may want to check out Textilephp wich our very own Greenrift has made a version to work with Textpattern
hope this helps – a search on this forum for Textilephp on this forum will also give some thread to read on the topic.

And btw there is a secret handshake, but if i told you i would have to kill you :)

Or use the classtextile.php file packed with TXP and use it like TXP does. Not that hard to sniff out in the code what the “syntax” is to call it.

Ah, thanks! I’ll grab TXP and take a look there.

Is there any interest in distiling textile into a real open source project, so that various lang implementations can be standardized, instead of ripping code out of TXP?

I’ll check out textilePHP, as that is what I’m looking for. But I see that Ruby on Rails apps, most notably BaseCamp, also have a textile implementation.

It isn’t really ripping code out of Textpattern, it’s added to and used by Textpattern. There’s a difference. :) The file is classTextile.php, and it is in the “lib” folder.

At the top of the file you will find instructions on the syntax, and how to use the class. Enjoy it in good health. :)

Cool. Is this recommended, over textilePHP?

It would also be nice to have a seperate release for the textile lib, so that it’s easier to keep up on updates than having to download each textpattern release, etc. That is of course assuming that there is a change to this lib in the textpattern release.

Textile is the original script, created by Dean Allen.

textilePHP is someone else’s version of it. First, one guy converted textile to Perl and enhanced it, then someone else converted that version back to PHP. Whether you should use it or not depends very much on you. See which one includes the features you’re after.

I know, it should be linked to from there, I don’t know why it isn’t. There may well be a reason, but likely only Dean knows.

Yeah, I saw that when I visited the textilePHP downlaod page. I will compare the two, but would rather use the ‘standard’ version, which is more than likely the textpattern version Dean did.

Thanks for all your help, Mary.
