I have spent hours trying to convert TXT to EPUB by marking it up with TEXTILE tags.

The resulting EPUB file shows no signs of any TEXTILE processing whatsoever. No headings, no linking, no italics or bold. Nothing.

I am now admitting defeat.

I am posting here in the hope that someone can tell me what is wrong.

I am running Calbre 0.7.48 on Windows XP SP3.

Basically I have set the TXT input processing to
Paragraph style: off
Formatting style: textile

Here is my input file (I stole this from Perkins):

Spoiler:

h1. Header 1

p(#fn1r). Here’s a link[1] which should jump to the end footnote.

h2. Header 2

The first *Robin Hobb* trilogy, the _Farseer Trilogy,_ took place in the ??Six Duchies??. It is the tale of +FitzChivalry+ Farseer.

p=. !E:/_BOOKS/Images/00004.jpg!

The first Robin Hobb trilogy, the Farseer Trilogy, took place in the Six Duchies.

h3. Header 3

Now some ^superscript^ followed by ~subscript~ and back to normal.

@This should be in Code format.@
@To see what mono font looks like.@

pre.
There was a man from hither,
Who, when he began to shiver,
He gave a cough,
His leg dropped off,
And floated down the river.

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2
* Bullet 3

# Numbered 1
# Numbered 2
# Numbered 3

And now here follows a horizontal rule

<hr>

fn1. A footnote is here, which should jump back to first paragraph link.

When selecting here. "RETURN":#fn1r

p<. Left ??justified??

p=. Center *justified*

p>. Right _justified_

p<>. _*This should be fully justified and in bold and italics. This should be fully justified and in bold and italics. This should be fully justified and in bold and italics.*_

Here is my log file from Calibre

I find the "initial parse failed" error message worrying but I cannot see a cause for this.

I have processed txt to epub in the past using MARKDOWN with acceptable results, but since I upgraded to 0.7.48, markdown is not working either.

Any ideas? John
