So the "Textile (help)" found at the bottom of most pages links to:
http://textile.thresholdstate.com/help-lite/?lang=en-ca
which appears as dead as Jon Snow.
Is there a more useful place to link to instead?
Maybe http://redcloth.org/textile instead? (makes ref to redcloth4).
I'll get the techs to switch the link sometime in the coming week (Jan 11 - 15).
If you have a preferred or better reference, post in the comments.
No, I won't be keen to rickroll anyone, nor link to a wiki page about textile, cos they wouldn't be as useful.

eg: google no workey here.

so I'm planning to update the ref in the textile help file, but have more comprehensive html, css guides.
I'm using to writing html 3.2 raw code by hand when I need to, so there is some textile learning for me too.
Our OP Inner Council member ChainsawXIV will be doing stuff on DST (dynamic stylesheet templates) in the near future, so we will have more resources in that area.

which as andrew pointed out won't help you in the forums but you can do that in your site.
I'm not caught up on all the techie details and yeah, target=_blank support for textile hyperlinks would be a godspend, but alas...
It is also a little suckey that I can't seem to directly image embed in the forums with an img src, or maybe I'm still a textile padawan, so some help or idiot-level pointers might help.
There's some mention of native html support in the textile docs, though I haven't had enough time to play with it to figure out what works or what doesn't (the specifying of fixes to the site is taking a fair amount of time).
If you find hacks/workarounds, by all means post them here.

In fact Textile lists 2 ways of skipping or temporarily turning off Textile and yet neither of these work. (one being the html and the other being double equal signs) When I insert these Textile just displays them and doesn't read them as code like it should.
I just don't know the code myself, really should keep a list of all the tricks, like that and quoting.

This, incidentally, is the same reason that you can't use colspan and rowspan in tables in the wiki.
More on point however, the main page I use for textile reference is the first hit on Google: "http://redcloth.org/hobix.com/textile/":http://redcloth.org/hobix.com/textile/
It's not perfect, and I've encountered some things over the years that aren't supported in one place or another on OP, but it generally works.
