Where does it stop

What the “Textile reference here” link at the bottom should point at is this page

I would insert code like this:

[blank line]
<pre> the code
 
that I want
 
to insert </pre>
[blank line]

If you don’t leave the blank lines either side, Textile will, for some obscure reason, double space the output.

The result is:

the code

that I want

to insert

You can also do it by prefixing the first line with "pre. " (like you’d use "bq. " for a quote) but that will auto-end if you leave a line blank, and since whitespace is common in listings, using explicit <pre>…</pre> tags means it’ll work fairly reliably in ways that the "pre. " section marker doesn’t.

For example:

the code

that I want

to insert

See? Only the first part was actually marked up correctly. Use <pre>…</pre> tags. Slightly more typing, much less brainache.

Oh, and if you have URLs in your code (like a comment or whatever), edit them to something like “hxxp” (instead of “http”) or else…

Well, here’s an example.

Just my website URL: <a href="https://heyrick.eu/">https://heyrick.eu/</a>

What I wrote is "Just my website URL: " followed by the URL as text.

That mess, making it a link and then quoting it verbatim, that’s Textile failing at being clever.

You can also do it by prefixing the first line with "pre. " (like you’d use "bq. " for a quote) but that will auto-end if you leave a line blank, and since whitespace is common in listings, using explicit <pre>...</pre> tags means it’ll work fairly reliably in ways that the "pre. " section marker doesn’t.

Why not just use bc.. at the start of the block, and p. for the first line after the block ends? I’ve never found it fail yet, whereas using HTML tags is always risky IME.

Oh, and for a single line, bc. does the trick nicely with no need to end it.

On the subject of quoting links, I wonder what

Here is a link to <a href="https://www.stevefryatt.org.uk">https://www.stevefryatt.org.uk</a>

does. Then how about

Here is a longer block of code with a link in it...

<a href="https://www.stevefryatt.org.uk">https://www.stevefryatt.org.uk</a>

Do either of these work…?

No… no they don’t. Sigh.

For the record, they were using bc. and then bc.. followed by p. respectively.

If Textile can do the wrong thing, it probably will.

It’s like a precocious toddler. Lots of enthusiasm, not so many cluons.

how about

Here is a link to "https://www.bbc.co.uk":https://www.bbc.co.uk

or

Here is a  multiline with a link to:

"https://www.bbc.co.uk":https://www.bbc.co.uk

finishing here.

nope.

that’s:

bc. Here is a link to "https://www.bbc.co.uk":https://www.bbc.co.uk

 or

 bc.. Here is a  multiline with a link to:
