Textile-mode is a major mode, derived from text-mode, in order to help editing text with the Textile markup language.
It only does syntax highlighting for the moment, and is still in alpha version. It is my first attempt to make a major mode, and I didn’t have the time to choose beautiful faces for fontlocking, so don’t be afraid if you find the syntax-highlighted result ugly !
The page to get the code and some spare documentation is at :

For more information about textile, you can take a look at :

For information on converting textile to html via ruby within emacs, see:

There is also a minor mode that provide a function to convert small subset of textile into HTML

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated !
