Textile

A Humane Web Text Generator

Fead up with always having to refer to an old cheatcard, I post the cheatcodes !

What Textile Does:

• Replace single and double primes (' and ") used as quotation marks with HTML entities for opening and closing quotation marks ( » and «  ») in readable text, while leaving untouched the primes required within HTML tags.
• Replace double hyphens (–) with an em-dash (-) entity.
• Replace single hyphens surrounded by spaces with an en-dash (-) entity.
• Replace triplets of periods (…) with an ellipsis (…) entity.
• Convert many nonstandard characters (ŸúߊπŒ) to browser-safe entities corresponding to keyboard input.
• Apply block- and phrase-level structural tags automatically and at the discretion of the writer via quick tags.

  Quick block modifiers:

  Header: hn.
  Blockquote: bq.
  Footnote: fnn.
  Numeric list: #
  Bulleted list: *

  Quick phrase modifiers:

  _emphasis_
  *strong*
  ??citation??
  -deleted text-
  +inserted text+
  ^superscript^
  ~subscript~
  %span%

  To align blocks:

  < right > left
  = center
  <> justify

  To reference a footnote:
  [n]

• Allow the quick creation of simple and complex tables

  To insert a table:
  |a|table|row|
  |a|table|row|

• Allow the simple application of style, class, id, language and alignment attributes to elements

  (class)
  (#id)
  {style}
  [language]

• Create hyperlinks and insert images via quick tags

  To insert a link:
  « linktext »:url

  To insert an image:
  !imageurl!.

• Define acronyms via quick tags

  ABC(Always Be Closing)

• Wrap an tag around runs of three or more capital letters automatically.
• Convert (TM), (R), and (C) to ™, (r), and (c).
• Convert the letter x to a dimension sign: 2×4 to 2×4 and 8 x 10 to 8×10.
