You can learn more about Textile’s syntax at its website. This method is only available if RedCloth is available.

Examples

# => "I <em>love</em> <acronym title="Ruby on Rails">ROR</acronym>!"

textilize_without_paragraph("h2. Textile makes markup -easy- simple!")
# => "<h2>Textile makes markup <del>easy</del> simple!</h2>"
