(Creating this issue so that the multiplicity of individual issues caused by this problem may be set to status:fixed and thus eventually close.)

The INSTALL.txt file of the textile module lists http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ as the first source of classTextile.php, but as of May 16 2010 http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ continues to provide an older version. That older version leads to problems such as those noted in various issues (e.g., incorrectly generated lists). To fix this problem on your Drupal site:

1. Get the latest version of classTextile.php by downloading TextPattern sources from http://textpattern.com/download. classTextile.php is in textpattern/lib.
2. Replace classTextile.php in your textile module directory with this new version.
3. Clear your cache by pressing the "Clear cached data" button found at the bottom of your admin/settings/performance page.

It looks as if the textile module should be fixed as follows:

References to http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ (outdated) and the subversion website (latest development version, which may be unstable) should be eliminated from INSTALL.txt, and that instead INSTALL.txt should recommend obtaining classTextile.php from the latest stable version of TextPattern sources at http://textile.thresholdstate.com/. Until INSTALL.txt is corrected those who try the textile module will tend to think it is buggy.

The link on the project page itself still tells people to get the code from the wrong place:

You will need to download textile 2.0 in addition to this module in order for the filter to work. See the INSTALL file for details.

With 2.3, INSTALL.txt is pointing to http://textpattern.com/download, which, though it does contain the library in a way, is not the most effective source in comparison to the library provided at http://textile.thresholdstate.com/as the latter does not necessitate downloading the entire textpattern CMS.
