Thank you Eric, I downloaded the file OK.
I added it as a text filter to TextWrangler and it worked great!
I appreciate your effort in making this script available

Fixed! I think what was happening was the server was trying to execute the file as a Perl script instead of download it as a zip file, so I renamed it to ‘TextileSA_pl.zip’ instead of ‘TextileSA.pl.zip’. Thanks for the heads-up!

So I see, Richard. Problem is, I can’t figure out why. Other .zip files download fine, and the permissions on both the file and its directory seem fine. Renaming the file didn’t help either. I’m genuinely at a loss.

[...] found a reasonably good article about how to add Textile to BBEdit but the explanations aren't very clear and one of the download links is broken and the other [...]

sorry to be such a dweeb… but how exactly can i use this plugin with BBedit. i have a Textpattern site and it would be great to use BBedit as my editor for this.

Nice. This is also working in TextWrangler.

The test example worked fine in BBEdit 8.2.6. I just tried it on the sample text from the Textile page on Textism, and it threw errors on lines 1557 – 1558 (same error message): ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Unix Support/Unix Filters/TextileSA.pl:1557: Use of uninitialized value in string eq <> line 1. The relevant code on these lines is:


            $w = '' if $w eq '*';
            $h = '' if $h eq '*';

Having said all that: the output looks okay, and it's a bit late to go over it with a finer-toothed comb (esp. since it could just be a quirk of my older version of BBEdit). Regards, Kurtis

I’ve been using Textile in BBEdit for a while now using a shell script linked to the original classTextile.php, but this made me get round to spending two minutes putting this baby together: http://gist.github.com/621230

Just drop it in your Unix filters folder with the name ‘Textile’ (or, indeed, whatever you choose to name it) and it’ll work. This has the advantage of using the original Textile, which means you’ll get the same result as if you plugged your input right into Textpattern.

I believe this worked for me. Installed while running BBedit, opened new doc and used your sample text. Result: http://pastebin.com/ir5HKLRr

Yes, it works. Just entered your sample text and it does what’s expected.
