Message-ID: <528798BE.9030804@meahan.net> (raw)
To save possibly reinventing the wheel, has anyone written a filter for
processing Textile markup analogous to the filters for Markdown and
reStructuredText?
I tried using Pandoc to provide multiple formats of output (ConTeXt,
EPUB, MS Word) from a common source but Pandoc is excessively tied to
Markdown which does not understand the difference between emphasized
text and italic text and only outputs {\em word}, <em>word</em>,
\emph{word} and so forth which means I have to go through every instance
of the tag and change tags where I want explicit italics as I use other
typographical techniques (small-caps or sans-serif or ...) for emphasis
but some things (book titles, ship names, foreign words/phrases et. al)
are always set in italics by convention. Pandoc continues its "map
everything to <em> ways even if the input is textile or (X)HTML. There
are some other neat advantages to Textile as well such as local styling
(CSS or \begin{environment}... or \startenvironment ...)
I know a lot of computer languages now and I really don't want to learn
Lua or Haskell -- I'm retired! :)
