Example 1: Plain text
This is some test that I’m using as a test.
Still more text.
Example 2: Ordered list
- one
- two
- three
Example 3: Unordered list
- wow
- a
- list
Example 4: Formatting text
| Strikethrough: | -Hello World- becomes |
| Superscripts: | Hello ^World^ becomes Hello World |
| Subscripts: | Hello ~World~ becomes Hello World |
| Code or quotes: | @Hello World@ becomes Hello World |
Example 5: Underlining
You’ll note that there is no underline option. There is a good reason for this. It is considered bad form to use underlines in online content because they look like links.
If you want to underline you have to use the span tag with the style=”text-decoration: underline;” wrapped around the text to accomplish it.
Example 6: CSS Styles
| red (span): | %{color:red}Hello World% becomes Hello World |
| red (bold): | *{color:red}Hello World* becomes Hello World |
| red (italics): | _{color:red}Hello World_ becomes Hello World |
| red (strikethrough): | -{color:red}Hello World- becomes |
Example 7: Links
“duke.edu textile doc”:http://www.biochem.duke.edu/help/textile…becomes…
Example 8: Images
To insert an image, put exclamation points around the URL for the image:
1 | !http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif! |
…becomes…
Example 9: Escaping notextile
| option 1: | ==*Hello World*== becomes *Hello World* |
Example 10: multi paragraph blockquotes
The new syntax is the “sticky” indicator, formed by tacking a second period onto the end of the bq. directive. The proper MT-Textile 2 formatting for my example looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 | bq.. This is the first paragraph. This is the second paragraph. p. To end the ... |
becomes…
This is the first paragraph.
This is the second paragraph.
To end the sticky behavior, simply start the next paragraph with p.. It is an elegant solution for an elegant markup system.
