It processes text with simple syntax rules\u2014underscores for emphasis, asterisks for strong, quoted text with colons for links, and dash-prefixed lines for lists\u2014and outputs valid HTML. The package depends on nh3 for HTML sanitization and regex for pattern matching, making it suitable for any workflow that needs to accept user-friendly text input and produce safe HTML output.\n\nThe library is stable and actively maintained, with support for Python 3.8 through 3.14. It carries no known security vulnerabilities and installs with minimal friction. The optional Pillow dependency can be added if image size checking is needed, but the core functionality requires only the two base runtime dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes. textile is a stable, actively maintained library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license.
