table attributes/span, div not in documentation
Reported by h3rald (at h3rald) | June 2nd, 2009 @ 07:51 AM | in 4.2.0
Textile support for block elements like div and tables is currently a bit limited, in particular:
- There's no Textile syntax for div tags or similar (unless I overlooked it)
- Textile syntax for tables is very nice, but it cannot be used effectively for multiline cells.
DIV:
/div#sec1(section)
This text will be wrapped in a <div id="sec1" class="section"></div>
div/
TABLE:
/table
/tr
/th Header 1 th/
/th Header 2 th/
tr/
/tr
/td Header 1 td/
/td
This cell can contain
multiline text.
td/
tr/
table/
What do you think? It's still faster than typing HTML, and it shouldn't conflict with existing textile syntax.

Invalid?
There is already syntax for div:
RedCloth.new("div. asdf").to_html
=> "asdf"And table cells as of lately can be multiline.

- Title changed from “Suggestion for block element syntax” to “table attributes/span, div not in documentation”
- Tag changed from “div, feature, table” to “div, documentation, table”
- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
You were right, it was missing from the documentation. I added it about 4 hours ago. Thanks!

Hmm hang on...
div. A simple div >>
A sample div^^ This is rather pointless: does it support multiple lines? I tried it on the home page of RedCloth.org and it doesn't seem to work.
You could implement something like this...
div(section)..
This is a header
this is a paragraph
div(section)..
This is a header
this is a paragraph
...but again, nesting divs would be close to impossible.
I know these are issues related to page layout and maybe a bit out of Textile's domain, nevertheless it would be cool if you could support them in some clever way.
