  I like Obsidian Portal, but there are things that annoy me, mostly with the code.
  
  First of all, I hate textile formatting. Hate it. It never works right, and having to use html for single line breaks is stupid. Double breaking for a single line break doesn't work on any of my pages. The syntax for textile code is very picky as well.
  
  What textile does do right is being able to italics, bold, underline, and strike works with the symbols. That's great, I use it a lot. Using the percent signs for color changes is also alright. Image floating kind of works, but requires the use of the div html command.
  
  There is no ability to indent text without resorting to HTML. This is incredibly annoying. An easy way to fix this, and allow some flexibility, is to simply allow double spaces (as well as beginning a line with a space). I end up having to use '&nbsp' for spaces far more often than I like. If I could just multi-space and have it stick, that would be very convenient for both indenting and doing a page layout.
  
  You got to do something about the limited space in that little text box that we edit pages with. Having a big command referral to the right is useful and all I guess but it just takes up too much room. Plus there's a little barely visible gray border that boxes in the edit boxes, which looks pretty but ultimately just takes up more room.
