Several people have been asking for the ability to perform richer editing on the text in paragraph elements — don’t worry, I’m always open to new ideas. Rather than make a proprietary PLink markup, I have implemented the markup used by Dean Allen’s Textile™. Textile is easy to use, and quite powerful. This having been said, I wasn’t satisfied with the Java™ Textile libraries that already existed, so I have been busy programming my own parser for its specification.
Which brings us to PLextile™, a complete Java™ library for parsing Dean Allen’s Textile which has been implemented by the PLink team. Unlike other existing Java™ implementations of Textile, Plextile™ supports all of its major features.
