hi,

textile4j has been inactive for a very long time, moreover many major features are not supported . (e.g Table)

I found out another new open source java project called textile-J in java.net : https://textile-j.dev.java.net/

it is really great!. it supports , almost, all of the textile syntax. very much the same as what I mostly do in Confluence wiki in my daily work !!!

now, I can easily sync or copy working notes from confluece wiki to my personal Roller blog :-D

so, I created a new Roller Plugin for textile-J to replace the old Textile4J altogether in Roller.

------------------------------------------------------------ Here is my notes to share: ------------------------------------------------------------ * svn checkout source from https://textile-j.dev.java.net/ (DO not download the jar from "Build Download Area", it does not work !) * cd textile-j/java/net.java.textilej * $ant all * net.java.textilej_1.0.0.jar will in generated in dist * I rename "net.java.textilej_1.0.0.jar" as "textilej_1.0.0.jar" * copy textilej_1.0.0.jar to apache-roller-src-3.1/contrib/lib * create the following plugin file in
/apache-roller-src-3.1/contrib/plugins/src/org/apache/roller/ui/rendering/plugins *

cd to apache-roller-src-3.1 * /apache-roller-src-3.1$ant all * /apache-roller-src-3.1/contrib$ant build-contrib * a roller-contrib.jar will be generated at: /apache-roller-src-3.1/build/lib/roller-contrib.jar * copy this roller-contrib.jar to ./apache-roller-3.1/webapp/roller/WEB-INF/lib/roller-contrib.jar * configure your $TOMCAT_HOME/common/classes/roller-custom.properties
