Hi Erwin,

I've integrated the php version of Markdown into the cms I've built...

http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/
http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

...I preferred it's syntax over Textile as it just seemed to be a little more instinctive, but to each their own. In some cases I use it on submitted fields so that the users are not even aware their text is being formatted e.g it will convert...

- text like this
- straight to an
- unordered list

etc., which is what many form-filler-inners do naturally anyway. Otherwise it's really pretty easy to have admin users learn some of the simple syntax.

Hi all,

Instead of using WYSIWYG-editors (none of them quite right at the moment,
although some show promise), has anyone ever showed and/or taught their
clients Textile ( http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/ )?
I mean, it can literally be picked up in a matter of minutes and ouputs the
cleanest XHTML possible.
It's also available as a plugin for Expression Engine, Wordpress,
Textpattern and probably more...
Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Erwin Heiser
