This subsection is about Textile only.

In fact, Textile is much more powerful than it may seem to be at first glance. Its power lies in its advanced options, which are supported by most of its syntax rules. While you won't usually need to resort to these options, you may find some of them essential for getting the result that you need.

Advanced options are usually specified between the marker and the dot (.) that marks the end of the options. Thus, the following syntax can be used for table cells and some block rules:

|(Options). ...|
p(Options). ...

For some markers, such as the ones that are used to format lists, the options should be specified right after the marker and before the space (without the dot):

*(Options) ...

Images and normal links can use advanced options as well:
