Textile blocks

In a previous post I tried to show a quote within a quote using bq. and bq..

It was supposed to look like this:

Old quote

new quote

the above was achieved using html tags

Using bq. and bq.. I get:

outside quote
bq.. inside quote

There is some disagreement on the internet about whether bq.. is valid Textile and I don’t know if there is a definitive source of rules for the language

the above was achieved using html tags

Yes, that’s the only way to do nested quotes.

Oh, really? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked. ;)

about whether bq.. is valid Textile

Yes/No/Maybe.

The problem is that Textile has been around since 2002, and since this is a Ruby site we’ll probably be using RedCloth, which isn’t exactly up to date. I can’t find it in the website sources (but, then, Ruby reads like gibberish to me) to see what exactly is supported, but whatever, we have an older version of Textile. I’m sure there have been additions and upgrades in the past twenty three years.

To put this in terms for RISC OS users, the command COLOUR OF 255,255,255 ON 0,0,0 will work on contemporary machines such as the Pi, and will even work on a RiscPC.
But what about an original A3000?

We’re the A3000.

I don’t know if there is a definitive source of rules for the language

https://textile-lang.com/ but note that it’ll be documenting Textile now, not Textile then.

To be honest, half the time I simply include inline HTML because Textile is…eccentric…in the most annoyingly obtuse way possible.

Thanks,

Ive added that to my links page. It does say that bq.. is supported but it is to make a block from
a set of lines which includes blank lines.

Like this I hope.
