Hi Dave, Chris, et al.

Thanks for all your help in getting the Textile Editor Helper working  
for me. While I can’t explain why one download worked without including  
prototype.js and the other requires it, I have put up a step-by-step  
guide to using acts\_as\_textiled and the Textile Editor Helper for adding  
support for Textile markup in a web site. It starts from creating a new  
Rails app all the way up to getting the helper working. I imagine it  
should be of help/interest to a newbie 🙂

By the way, I’m still struggling with the using the code formatting  
macro and the stylesheets for code for Mephisto, so I know it doesn’t  
look quite as pretty as it should… ☹

Cheers  
Mohit.
