...but there are some changes I’d like to make to it to make it work better with MetaNotes.

Whenever a block of text starts with leading spaces, that block gets wrapped in pre tags. This sucks for pasting text from articles, so I’m going to eliminate that feature for MetaNotes.

This feature also interferes w/ the pasting of content from time to time, so it should be eliminated as well.

This is a feature that RedCloth already has. Once I get my changes in place, I’ll be able to put this restriction in place.

Sometimes, I don’t want to use Textile at all. I’d like to eventually let people pick what format they want their notes to be in on a note-by-note basis. The choices will probably be:

• modified textile
• bbcode
• vim syntax highlighting
• raw html (for 100% trusted people only)

Hello, Dominic.

Right now, enclosing a URL between two exclamation points will embed an image.

I want to extend that ability to embed other media types like YouTube videos and Slideshare slides.
