How do I use Textile?

What the heck is Textile?

Textile is just an easy way of formatting text to display on the web. (We know that some of you like to use (x)html, but since we’ve learned that not all of us know how to use it properly, we’ve decided to strip it out and give you an easier option instead.)

Just use the formatting toolbar that is above the text-input box and it will insert the correct formatting codes for you. (Or, if you’re feeling frisky, you can do it by hand. Here’s a quick guide that will allow you to format text in some common ways.)
