    My first plugin adds Textile2 support to posts and pages. It doesn’t have a fancy GUI but it’s based on the freshest PHP textile code from Dean Allen.

    The previous Textile plugin for WP1.5 was a wrapper of a port of an adaptation of a Movable Type plugin — no disrespect intended. This one is 99.9% Dean Allen code with no-brainer wrapper for WordPress.

    Check out Dean’s page to see what you can do with Textile — easily and elegantly:

    I’ve always had textile 2 “on” or “activated” but have never used it I think. It’s just on because it says it does fancy stuff, but I think that fancy stuff is a little….redundant?

    What does it really offer beyond what WP already offers?

    I think plenty of people won’t need Textile, because as you say WP makes it easy to format text nicely. My favorite things about textile are the way you can take URL’s out of the way of your text:

    "Check out this page":1 for a clear explanation of when and how to use the right hand rule(s).

    And the way it deals with multilevel bullet lists. I will probably also use the tables at some point.

    I would point you to the Textile page for a demo but it seems to be down just at the moment.
