Textile editor has been released into the wild
March 26th, 2007 — 1:15 pm —This week we’ll be launching slate v0.3.3 which incorporates the new Textile editor. But first, we decided to wrap it up as a plugin for all to enjoy ;-)
Head on over to our new plugins page for more information.
About slate
slate is a content management system (CMS) developed using Ruby on Rails focused on rapid production of traditional websites created by WVU Web Services. Read more about why we created slate and a longer list of features of slate. You can also check out a list of sites using slate. If you have questions or comments let us know but if it's a question about open sourcing slate have a look at this article first.Archives

This is so freaking awesome. Thank you.
Welcome :) So the plugin worked ok?
everything works fine but I’m getting a javascript exception thrown.
You can test this by installing the firefox extension ‘firebug’
Here is the error :
uncaught exception: [Exception… “Could not convert JavaScript argument” nsresult: “0×80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)” location: “JS frame :: http://localhost:3000/javascripts/prototype.js?1173982319 :: anonymous :: line 2241” data: no]
Ah, got Firebug installed but didn’t look to closely at it outside of testing when the JS went down in flames. We’ll look at that tomorrow and make sure the code is tight. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
This should be fixed in the latest update. Thanks for letting us know :-)
works great
THANKS
This look really nice. ^^
Will you be adding the ability to add links and images in the future?
While we will eventually have the ability to add links and images, we have some custom requirements that don’t fit into the general framework of this plugin that involve both links and images, so it’s likely that our solution will be too specific.
The problem with links and images is they both require extra input. The extra input means either a custom popup or Javascript input prompt. Right now, all the methods of TEH are related to formatting, which keeps the focus of TEH simple and clean. Adding custom popups to set properties, etc. may be too messy for the plugin to handle.
If we do create a generalized solution, we’ll definitely post it ;-)
How about just adding ’!’ around the selected link for when you want to put an image. The same behaviour as when you add bold text ’*’.
You could even validate if what the user has selected is indeed a link with a simple regex.
