[[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/textile|PyTextile]] is a ''very'' easy to use text-to-HTML converter.

You can see [[http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/|a demonstration of Textile,]]
which can convert ''this:''

{{{
_This_ is a *test.*

* One
* Two
* Three

Link to "Slashdot":http://slashdot.org/
}}}

to ''this:''

{{{
        <p><em>This</em> is a <strong>test.</strong></p>
 
 
<ul>
        <li>One</li>
        <li>Two</li>
        <li>Three</li>
</ul>

}}}

== Using PyTextile ==

First, [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/textile|download the latest PyTextile.]]

Untar it, and enter the {{{textile}}} directory. Start a python interpreter.

Type:

{{{
#!python
import textile

s = """
_This_ is a *test.*

* One
* Two
* Three

Link to "Slashdot":http://slashdot.org/
"""

html = textile.textile( s )

print html
}}}

You'll see beautiful HTML on the other side, ready for inclusion in a web page. :)
