The following code is the syntax sample for textile. The output is shown after the code

[code]h2{color:green}. This is a title

h3. This is a subhead

p{color:red}. This is some text of dubious character. Isn't the use of "quotes" just lazy writing -- and theft of 'intellectual property' besides? I think the time has come to see a block quote.

bq[fr]. This is a block quote. I'll admit it's not the most exciting block quote ever devised.

Simple list:

#{color:blue} one
# two
# three

Multi-level list:

# one
## aye
## bee
## see
# two
## x
## y
# three

Mixed list:

* Point one
* Point two
## Step 1
## Step 2
## Step 3
* Point three
** Sub point 1
** Sub point 2

Well, that went well. How about we insert an old-fashioned hypertext link? Will the quote marks in the tags get messed up? No!

"This is a link (optional title)":http://www.textism.com

Some more text of dubious character. Here is a noisome string of CAPITAL letters. Here is something we want to _emphasize_.
That was a linebreak. And something to indicate *strength*. Of course I could use my own HTML tags if I felt like it.

h3. Coding

This is some code, "isn't it". Watch those quote marks! Now for some preformatted text:

	$text = str_replace("

%::%

","",$text);
	$text = str_replace("%::%

","",$text);
	$text = str_replace("%::%","",$text);

This isn't code.

So you see, my friends:

* The time is now
* The time is not later
* The time is not yesterday
* We must act[/code]

One of the very first tasks I always perform on every new WordPress installation I do is to go into my user profile and turn off the visual WYSIWYG editor(e.g. tinymce). I prefer to handle all my formatting markup myself because it gives me more control over the final product. However, I do use quicktags to increase my productivity.

Do you use any formatting plugins for faster, easier, on-the-fly markup? If you use one of these plugins, why do you use that specific markup plugin? For instance, I use TextileWrapper on my own blog because I like how easy it is to add just a single character or two to a line or phrase to get the formatting I want. I originally used Text Control – and I still prefer – but it broke on a WordPress upgrade awhile back and is no longer being supported by the author, forcing me to find an alternative. TextileWrapper is an excellent plugin in its own right and continues to function well through each upgrade.

TinyMCE’s configuration is determined when the WordPress edit page is loaded and are controlled by options set in the TinyMCE initialization process. More documentation on the configuration options can be found in the TinyMCE Configuration Reference.

In the WordPress version of TinyMCE, these options are set in a file entitled tiny_mce_gzip.php, which can be found in %WordPress_root%/wp-includes/js/tinymce.
