dwanthy, that comes out nearly all correct, the only problem is the pre section, which is missing spaces (also incorrect in posts), should be

Code:

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.

There's a space after pre. (why the pre tag isn't converted), and several spaces in the text (to give a centrified limerick).

Another problem is some of the accented characters, which is just the coding,being different.

@getajob
Have you tried setting the 'Input character encoding' in the conversion-Look'n'feel, try converting with utf-8, and if that doesn't work try again with cp1252

I had a similar problem with a version just after Textile was introduced, but was the character encoding which was causing it.

Edit:
If I remember, I was converting with cp1252 but the file was utf-8.
