And has been for almost a month, but my blogging volume has been rather low lately. This long-awaited update to MT-Textile, created by Movable Type plugin wiz Brad Choate, includes far more features than are probably healthy for a “humane web text generator.”
MT-Textile 2 is so chock-full of formatting goodness that I may never use most of its features, but Brad’s got a really good list of some of MT-Textile’s bells and whistles. When I was actively posting in my blog, I found Textile formatting to be a quick way to add formatting without having to murder the text with angle brackets. I still think it’s pretty cool, even though I’m not posting much, because it contains some of the most complicated regular expressions I’ve ever seen in a Perl program.
