The Textile Editor Helper (TEH) is a Javascript-based text formatting  
toolbar that will be added to all of your text areas that utilize the  
TEH feature. TEH was developed to provide a more WYSIWYG-ish option  
for users of our Rails CMS called slate while still letting us use  
Textile.

# ============================ = So what’s new v0.2?

TEH has been:

- refactored (though this should be transparent)
- restyled (again, should be transparent)
- re… well, TEH now offers the ability to create custom buttons so  
a developer can more easily add custom functionality.

# ================== = What’s still missing?

We are currently not offering a method to include links or images via  
the toolbar. We’re closer to offering a solution for this (see  
the new content editor). Just need to find a little more time.
