The Textile module allows you to enter content using Textile, a simple, plain text syntax that is filtered into valid XHTML. The project Wiki page provides syntax descriptions and examples. (Caution from the Drupal version: If you are using the title module, you will need to ensure that Textile comes before the title module on the filter ordering page.)
Textile can be enabled on a per-input-format basis. There is an option on the configuration page of each input format for indicating whether or not Textile processing should only occur on text surrounded by [textile] and (optional) [/textile] tags. If an input format is designed or required to use Textile, this option can be disabled, and all input will be filtered.
This module requires that the Textile class libraries be installed in the include/ directory, as explained in the INSTALL.txt file. A recent version is included, but updated versions are available as described in INSTALL.txt.
-
Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/extend-with-modules.
-
Visit the configuration page under 'Administration > Configuration > Content authoring > Text editors and formats > Add text format' and create a new text format with the Textile filter enabled. You may want to disable any text editors for this text format, and have the Textile filter be either the only filter enabled or be first on the list. Different configurations of the filter require separate text formats (see below).
-
To configure the filter, press the "Configure" button. To limit Textile filtering to the text between the tags [textile] and [/textile], check the box in the configure dialog. Otherwise, Textile will filter all the text in the submitted text field.
-
After configuration, you can choose Textile as the format when creating or editing content.

Drupal history: Brad Choate developed an advanced implementation of Textile in Perl, Textile.pm, which includes extra features beyond those of Dean Allen’s Textile 2 implementation. This module was originally designed by Jim Riggs using TextilePHP, Jim's PHP port of Brad’s Textile.pm Perl module and Movable Type plugin.
