New Textile-J-based markup plugins on the Roller Support site

[Anil Gangolli <an...@busybuddha.org>]

Users, like me, who like to write their entries using simplified 
wiki-like markup syntax, may be interested in the following.

I've placed a collection of new weblog entry rendering plugins on the 
Roller Support site.  These new plugins are based on the support for 
various different markup languages (not just Textile!) in the Textile-J 
library (see https://textile-j.dev.java.net/).

The current Textile-J library provides support for Textile, Confluence, 
MediaWiki, and TracWiki markup syntax, and all of these have been 
exposed through a set of plugins in one jar.  You can read more about it 
here:

http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javanet/RollerTextileJPlugins

These are currently in a draft/experimental state.   Feel free to try 
them out and comment.

Because I am not sure about the fine-grained compatibility between 
interpretation of Textile markup in Textile4J and Textile-J, the new 
Textile plugin returns a different identifier string in its getName() 
call, which means it is considered a different plugin, rather than a 
replacement.  If you have old entries specifying the older plugin, the 
old plugin will continue to be used for those; entries specifying the 
new plugin will use the new one.

Once I've done some more testing, I plan to add a separate version that 
can serve as a stand-in replacement for the older one if people choose 
to load it; it can be loaded by those who want just one Textile 
implementation and are willing to live with any minor incompatibilities 
in its interpretation of Textile markup in their older entries.

--a.

p.s.  Please read the LICENSE.TXT document in the plugin distribution.

Very cool. Four new plugins in one!
