  wow, a lot of detailed requests... I would settle for the original- what version of textile, and what filtering rules apply?

  Just trying to help out.

  p. Since the Textile reference on wiki pages is to "redcloth.org":redcloth.org hopefully that means Obsidian Portal is using RedCloth 4.2.2 or later but I don't see that stated for sure anywhere. I'd also expect that to change as development of both Obsidian Portal and RedCloth continue. Hopefully updates would not change the Textile parsing behavior but I'd rather not need to make sure that I keep my RedCloth gem version (or worse my Textile parser for some other language) in sync with Obsidian Portal's.
  
  p. The allows HTML tag and attribute list is available at "http://www.obsidianportal.com/tutorials/allowed-html-tags":http://www.obsidianportal.com/tutorials/allowed-html-tags but again I expect that to change over time. If someone convinces Micah to allow ==no == tags (not currently in the allowed list) then I don't want any users of my app to become frustrated that they cannot add audio elements to their pages via my application because I failed to keep up with changes to that list.
  
  p. Playing around with the idea for this request I think I'm looking for something like the following:
  
  h3. Request
  
  *URL:* http://api.obsidianportal.com/v1/preview
  *HTTP Verb:* POST
  *Requires Authentication:* whatever
  
  _Request Body_
  @{
  'body' : 'textile and raw html to preview'
  'campaign_id' : 'optional, the campaign to evaluate this content within allowing the preview to include campaign specific styling or markup restricted to ascendant campaigns.'
  'type' : 'optional, Post/WikiPage/Character/whatever if we're going to need to consider different rules for different types of editable content'
  }@
  
  _Response_
  @{
  'body' : 'textile version of the preview which would be saved by OP, may have escaped forbidden markup or stripped forbidden attributes'
  'body_html' : 'html formatted version of the body'
  'stylesheets' : [array of stylesheet urls which will apply to this content]
  'errors' : {
  notify the requestor of content escaped or stripped from the body
  }
  }@
