I’m (still) working on an upgrade from Radiant 0.6.7 to 0.9.1 and I’m seeing some markup in pages that rendered fine under the old system but not under the new. To cite a specific example: ``` %(h3)%(carat)›%"Contact Us":../contact-us% ``` This translates to: ›Contact Us The old CMS is allegedly using Textile to process this markup, but this doesn’t look like Textile that I’ve seen (I was just recently introduced to it and I don’t personally use it). Can anyone help me understand what this is? -dan ---

To cite a specific example: > %(h3)%(carat)�%“Contact Us”:../contact-us% %(XYZ)abc% is textile for abc. so the output you get is correct. but i’ve never seen it nested like that (and testing with the latest redcloth shows that nesting is not allowed there). perhaps the old cms had some textile extensions or just a different parser that supported `span class` differently. to replicate it in radiant with redcloth just replace the outer span.h3 with a real html element: %(caret)�%“Contact Us”:../contact-us ---

In redcloth.rb in that version of RedCloth, I’m seeing this: # == Quick Phrase Modifiers # # Quick phrase modifiers are also included, to allow formatting # of small portions of text within a paragraph. # # \_emphasis\_ # \_\_italicized\_\_ # \*strong\* # \*\*bold\*\* # ??citation?? # -deleted text- # +inserted text+ # ^superscript^ # ~subscript~ # @code@ _# %(classname)span%_ # ``` QTAGS = [ ['**', 'b'], ['*', 'strong'], ['??', 'cite', :limit], ['-', 'del', :limit], ['__', 'i'], ['_', 'em', :limit], ``` - ``` ['%', 'span', :limit],* ['+', 'ins', :limit], ['^', 'sup'], ['~', 'sub'] ``` ] ---
