Overview

Textile works by allowing you to type in plain text, and have that text be converted to XHTML in a way you would expect. You can enter your own HTML tags if you wish, and these will not be affected by the Textile processing system.

For instance, instead of inserting

tags around your paragraphs, just hit the enter key twice. Textile will enclose the blocks of text that look like paragraphs in the proper tags.
