= textile_toolbar
 
Adds a handy Textile toolbar to any text area. The toolbar currently offers
the following functions:
 
  - Bold: select some text and click this button to make it bold.
  - Italic: select some text and click this button to make it italic.
  - Insert Hyperlink: select some text, click, enter URL, and link is inserted.
  - Insert Image: click, enter image URL, and image is inserted at cursor.
 
A link to a Textile reference page is also shown beside the toolbar.
 
== Installation
 
Install the gem directly:
 
  sudo gem install pelargir-textile_toolbar --source=http://gems.github.com
  
Or install the gem in your Rails project as a plugin:
  
  script/plugin install git://github.com/pelargir/textile_toolbar.git
 
Or clone the project:
 
  git clone git://github.com/pelargir/textile_toolbar.git
 
Then copy the required image and JS files into your Rails project
 
  rake textile_toolbar:install
 
== Usage
 
Use the textile_area helper where you would normally use the text_area
helper. Yep, it's that simple!
 
  <%= text_area :article, :body %>      # plain old text area
  <%= textile_area :article, :body %>   # text area with Textile toolbar
 
Form blocks are supported, letting you do this also:
 
  <% form_for :article do |f| -%>
    <%= f.textile_area :body %>
  <% end -%>
 
Any options that can be passed to text_area can also be passed to textile_area.
For example, to set the width and height:
 
  <%= textile_area :article, :body, :rows => 5, :cols => 10 %>
