Now Under New Management!
As of June 18, 2007, joshk and his colleagues at Chapter Three LLC are maintaining this module. Our first step will be to upgrade the core textile library to the current 2.0, as the existing code is causing Apache to segfault with the most recent versions of php 4.4.7 and 5.2.2.

You will need to download textile 2.0.0 in addition to this module in order for the filter to work. See the README file for details.

The Textile filter allows you to enter content using Textile, a simple, plain text syntax that is filtered into valid (X)HTML. It was originally developed by Dean Allen of textism.com, and several different versions (in several different programming languages) have been created. It is notably used by 37signals' Basecamp product, among many others.

Brad Choate developed an advanced implementation of Textile in Perl, Textile.pm, which includes extra features beyond those of Dean Allen’s Textile 2 implementation. This module was originally designed by Jim Riggs using TextilePHP, Jim's PHP port of Brad’s Textile.pm Perl module and Movable Type plugin.
