Textile Support?

What would it take to create a textile engine for the TLF?  Is there one yet?  Is the TLF fast enough to dynamically parse textile into a readable textflow so it doesn't look choppy?

Thanks!

Hard for me to comment, since I have never used textile. If you are looking for something that will produce alternative markup, that's not too difficult. For examples, you can look at the export formats we've already implemented, may be especially the one called "html" although that's not really html, its more of an html variant. Likewise it would also be possible to post process TLF markup using XSLT or some other tool. If you want to import as well, again, you could start by looking at the code for some of our importers, especially html. See TextConverter in flashx.textLayout.conversion package, and classes HTMLImporter and HTMLExporter.
