As far as I could tell, the calling methods for Textile and Textile2 seemed to be different, hence the "hack" I'll see if I can work out how to use the hook. If I do work it out I'll post the result. Thanks for the comment Jim…

Two quick notes: 1) Since the Textile class provided by Textile2 is the same as for original Textile, there's no need to hack the extension code in any way. All you have to do is rename 'classTextile.php' to just 'Textile.php' - and that *should* be it. 2) In the event that it was going to be more complicated, the preferred way to add a new language is to create a new MediaWiki extension that hooks into the 'AlternateSyntaxParser' hook which I created expressly for this purpose. (Admittedly though, that particular feature is not documented). Thanks again, and I'll be happy to answer any questions. Hi Nigel,
