[WM] Text::Textile and WebMake

[Wes Meltzer]

Hey all!

I'm not much of a programmer, but I was looking through the documentation for Text::Textile and it looks like you can hook the module just like you can hook the Text::EtText module.

Because someone's already done all the hard work of turning the MT-Textile plugin into a Perl module, how hard would it be for one of us (*nudges Justin*) to add some kind of hook for Text::EtText?

It looks as though this involves just adding a few lines here and there to HTML::WebMake::FormatConvert and adding a new subroutine textile_to_html() to call. Because Textile doesn't contain options and a glossary like EtText, all this would involve would be, I think, a quick $self->{textile}->process($text); or whatever correct syntax here is.

Am I misinterpreting the situation?

I'd be awfully grateful to have Textile support in WebMake finally, just as an option, so I could have validating XHTML and syntax I like. No offense, Justin, as always, but sometimes you just have a preference, you know?

Thanks a lot, guys, for all your help!
