I’m using Dean Allen’s classTextile.php (well – a bug fixed version available from the “textpattern weblog”:http://textpattern.com/weblog/, but I don’t know if I’m using it wrong as I keep running into niggling issues…

e.g. I type:

I can’t even get it to format this properly!!!!!!!!

I am now using Markdown.php due to Textile quirks which annoy me (crap handling of preformatted text, inability to fully disable Textiles parsing in certain places, etc…)

One Markdown problem I’ve already encountered is lack of strikethrough, as you can see I needed it for this post!

It can be overcome by using the following though:

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">

Due to the way Textile handles lists (at least the Textpattern implementation of it), a list may only be line after line of list items, i.e. you cannot have a paragraph after each bullet point, etc.

I need to look into this further

Interesting article on QuirksMode about problems with some generic methods for adding events to objects…

I’m currently using the behaviour.js script method and I’m not sure if this has already taken things mentioned in the article into consideration… I will have to check it out.

I also use another method for the initial pageload events which I will also need to check.
