 * Now available for WP1.5, **Text Control** allows you to take complete control
   over how you want to the text on your blog rendered.
 * With **Text Control** you can use a multitude of text processing engines including:
    - Markdown
    - Textile 1
    - Textile2
    - autop
    - nl2br
    - SmartPants
    - texturize
    - …or just disable formatting all together!
 * Learn more about this plugin, and view some screen shots over at [the plugin page for **Text Control**](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl)
 * Please, use the [Ticket feature](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/newticket) to report
   bugs as I don’t check here too often. (_Your username and password from these
   forums will work if it asks you._)

 * This plugin is brilliant. I wished I found it a LONG time ago.
 * Can someone explain the differences in formating and results with:
    # Markdown#
   Textile 1 # Textile2 # autop # nl2br # SmartPants # texturize
 * What does each do? How are they different?

 * I can’t get it working, and it’s not listed as something I can submit a ticket
   for!!!!!
 * this is what I was going to submit:
 * subject: problems with Options interface
 * namely, it doesn’t show up at all…and the plugin doesn’t seem to be doing anything,
   either, if I change the formatting on a by-page basis.
 * help?
 * (yes, I followed the directions; I’ve also tried deleting and reuploading, deactivating&
   reactivating.)
 * only I don’t see text-control in the dropdown list….grr.

 * It was working PERFECTLY for me, and all of a sudden, without any updates to 
   WordPress or changes to any admin files, it stopped. I get nothing but the WordPress
   and Firefox logo on the Text Control panel from the Options.
 * This is very strange. I’m going to post a note about it.

 * I had a problem when I installed it on my server. The ZIP file didn’t automatically
   create a “text-control” directory (which is where all the files should be placed
   with the exception of the main text-control.php file).
 * If you don’t create this directory, you can install the plugin and set it up 
   in the options menu — so it kind of looks like it is working — but will not let
   you publish correctly and give you errors.

 * I, too, had the problem reported above (the non-existent “control panel” under
   the Options menu/tab). It was a permissions problem. Once I set all the TEXT-
   CONTROL related files to be both readable and executable, the problem went away.
 * Cheers.
