Add client-side Textile markup editor bq. *update 7aug2013:* have decided not to use a live preview editor for now, since I support both textile and markdown, and at the moment, I don't want to support two live preview editors. plus, i have created my own custom formatting commands over the years that can only be viewed when processed on the server. and the live preview display in the right pane is distracting to me when I'm typing in the left pane. i prefer my addition to center the typing window and then go back to split screen when the preview button is clicked. so I've created my own custom split screen mode. have now tagged this as #todo_later. either a wysiwyg editor or something similar to ghost's planned editing environment. this would be for the enhanced blog post editing display. *update 9June2013 - top 2 choices* * http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/examples/textile/ * http://borgar.github.io/textile-js/ - *update june/july 2013: going with this editor. will make my own changes and additions.* * markdown editor ** https://github.com/chjj/marked * in-place-editor ** http://inplacericheditor.box.re * pagedown editor for markdown ** http://meta.stackoverflow.com/tags/editor/info ** http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2874646/which-stack-overflow-style-markdown-wmd-javascript-editor-should-i-use ** https://code.google.com/p/pagedown/ May implement both of the above along with my very basic "enhanced" version, and test or use all three to see which one I prefer. http://www.buildingwebapps.com/podcasts/79339-using-textile-markup-plus-in-place-editing http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200612/forget_wysiwyg_editors_use_wysiwym_instead/ http://www.wymeditor.org/ h2.

Markup Languages I've been using Textile since 2005 when I added this Perl module to my Parula code that become the wiki area at ToledoTalk.com. I did not like the standard wiki markup, and I found Textile, which was the syntax used in Texpattern, which is a CMS/blogging tool. I'm unsure if I looked at Markdown back in 2005. Textile contains more syntax features or options than Markdown. I use too many of these other Textile options to switch to Textile. Markdown has some easy to learn and use syntax, but I still prefer the Textile syntax, which is also easy to learn and use. The heading lines in Textile are easier. And I've added my own custom, Textile-like commands, such as: br. hr. q./q.. tmpl./tmpl.. code./code.. plus: [ [post name to link to]] { {text from another post to embed}} { {feed=url to rss/atom feed to embed}} Markdown gets all the attention by the geeks, probably because it was created originally as a Perl module by a popular blogger about Apple products. read more at: ++[[Markup Languages - Textile and Markdown]]++ #todo_later #junco #editor #markup
