How to deal with textile strike-through

Question

south-west to north-east

Will render: "southwest to northeast" using Textile.

I'm expecting to get: "south-west to north-east"

Isn't there a way to handle these kind of situations? Is that the intended behavior? (if so, that's really bad...)

For information, I'm using Zend Frameworks Textile parser class.

It looks like you have stumbled upon a known bug.

south-west to north-east

Should render as you expect it to. With a space before it - is Textile markup for <del></del> tags.

south -west to north- east

Should give the result you are getting.

You can see what your markup should produce here http://textile.thresholdstate.com/

It seems that this class is not useable at the moment according to this issue http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-9797

I've never used it, but I would suggest you try this class http://textile.thresholdstate.com/file_download/1/textile-2.0.0.zip
