Markdown to Textile
Convert markdown to textile with pandoc. Runs entirely on your device.
Runs on your device. The file is never uploaded.
Markdown to Textile rewrites headings, emphasis, lists, links, images, tables and code blocks into the Textile syntax Redmine and older CMS installations read, saved with the .textile extension. The converted text is shown for copying as well. Raw HTML has no Textile equivalent, so it arrives as raw text or disappears.
Questions
What is Textile output good for?
Systems that still take Textile as their markup, Redmine wikis and issue trackers being the common one, plus older CMS installations. The output is the Textile flavour pandoc's textile writer produces: its own heading, emphasis, list and table syntax rather than Markdown's.
Does everything in my Markdown survive?
The structure does: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables and code blocks. Markdown constructs with no Textile equivalent, raw HTML in particular, might come through as raw text or be dropped, so read the output before you paste it into a live page.
What extension does the file get?
The .textile extension, so notes.md becomes notes.textile. Plenty of Textile-consuming systems expect a paste rather than a file, so the converted text is also shown on the page with a copy button that copies the whole thing. That text is the whole file, so pasting it and downloading it give you exactly the same content.
Can I convert Textile back to Markdown?
Yes, with Textile to Markdown. Neither direction is a guaranteed round trip; each format has syntax the other cannot express, and pandoc drops what it cannot map rather than inventing something. Structure survives both ways: headings, lists, links, tables and code blocks. Styling that only one side can express is what goes missing, so keep the original file until you have read the result.
Does my text get sent anywhere?
No. Pandoc runs as WebAssembly in a Web Worker in this tab, so the document never leaves your machine. There is no account, no quota and no server; after the first visit the site works offline. The homepage keeps a counter of the outbound requests this site has made, and it stays at zero while you convert.
