python-textile is a Python port of Textile, Dean Allen’s humane web text generator.

pip install textile

Dependencies:

• html5lib
• regex (The regex package causes problems with PyPy, and is not installed as a dependency in such environments. If you are upgrading a textile install on PyPy which had regex previously included, you may need to uninstall it.)

Optional dependencies include:

• PIL/Pillow (for checking image sizes). If needed, install via pip install 'textile[imagesize]'

import textile >>> s = """ ... _This_ is a *test.* ... ... * One ... * Two ... * Three ... ... Link to "Slashdot":http://slashdot.org/ ... """ >>> html = textile.textile(s) >>> print html <p><em>This</em> is a <strong>test.</strong></p> <ul> <li>One</li> <li>Two</li> <li>Three</li> </ul> <p>Link to <a href="http://slashdot.org/">Slashdot</a></p> >>>

• Active development supports Python 3.5 or later.
