Textile: simple text syntax
Last updated on
30 April 2025
The textile module allows users to enter content using Textile, a simple, plain text syntax that is filtered into valid XHTML. Textile enables users to learn to format content quickly without having to worry about more complex syntax of html or xhtml. The filter tips page provides syntax descriptions and examples. Users can use syntax to create:
- headings
- paragraphs
- block quotes
- ordered lists
- unordered lists
- footnotes
- tables
Textile editing is an Input Format option on content creation and editing forms. It allows for blockquote, br, and html tags. It also automatically converts e-mail and web addresses to active links.
