Textile Language Features

Full featured document live preview for the Textile markup language.

Beta version !! See the Roadmap.

Based on the source code of Visual Studio Code's Markdown preview, it uses a modified version of textile.js Textile to HTML parser in order to display live preview.

Working with Textile

Create or open any file with a .textile extension, and then you can toggle the visualization of the editor between the code and the preview of the Textile file. To switch between views, press (Ctrl+Shift+V) in the editor. You can view the preview side-by-side (Ctrl+K V) with the file you are editing and see changes reflected in real-time as you edit.

Features

This extension is entirely based on the Markdown preview provided by Visual Studio Code, and tries to offer the same functionalities :

• you can view Textile source and its HTML preview side by side, with synchronised scrolling;
• you can include images, from local or network, with manageable security of the preview's content;
• the preview supports VSCode light and dark themes;
• the extension is translated to the 9 VScode core languages;
• ...

To see the full list of features and interactions, you can read the documentation of the Visual Studio Code's Markdown preview.
