Quotations and the q-tag
Hello.
It seems like Textile doesn’t support the q-tag for short inline quotes. Is it possible to add it to the Textile code by oneself and where do you make these changes? I tried adding it to the following fuction:
function fSpan($m) { $qtags = array( '*' => 'strong', '**' => 'b', '?' => 'q', <------ My addition '??' => 'cite', '_' => 'em', '__' => 'i', '-' => 'del', '%' => 'span', '+' => 'ins', '~' => 'sub' );
……but it doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Regards,
Joakim

Re: Quotations and the q-tag
Since Internet Explorer for Windows does not support the q element, it’s not particularly useful.
You cooin’ with my bird?

Well, it “supports” it, in that it recognizes it’s a valid tag and allows you to apply a style to it.
But, wrap quotation marks around the contained text like the spec dictates … not so much. And therefore, as you say, not particularly useful.

Well, if I would try to build my life around IE it wouldn’t be worth living. You could always persuade IE to display q-content in italics as a second best. Hopefully IE7 will support the :before and :after pseudoclasses and thereby enable it to display curly quotes the same way Firefox and Opera do today.

Oh! I found the solution. Cheers, anyway.

Don’t you meant “since no browser at all support the q element, it’s not particularly useful” ?
Even the “holy” Firefox get this bug for years now, fully documented and yet not fixed (do-able with advanced CSS however).
But then, when most browser will support the q tag, we will have to rewrite all of our web documents. Not nice.
As Textile does.. I don’t know. I pointed it several times during the last years, Dean never adressed this. I suspect this may have something to do with <q> being pretty simple and fast to type, and Textile not meant as a full HTML replacement markup language.
