But could you provide some documentation on how the tags are used by Wordpress? Does Wordpress display either or both of the words preceding or following the colon in your post? That is, will someone who's reading your blog see that information, or is it hidden from the reader and intended only for search engines and the like? Thanks! This is an interesting plugin.

Does WordPress display either or both of the words preceding or following the colon in your post? That is, will someone who’s reading your blog see that information, or is it hidden from the reader and intended only for search engines and the like?

Thanks!

Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)? Thanks.

What I secretly want (because abject laziness is always a secret) is to dump in events in whatever format I get them in and just tweak them enough that textags can read the meta data and be done.

I still want every event to come out “Fri 11 Nov 2005″ whether I wrote 11/11/05 or November 11th 2005. It seems not unreasonable, since the date got extracted from whatever I put down already.

Tags, ok. Links, Ok, but locations? No go.

I am inching through the process of comparing your sample (which works) to my entries to figure out why mine don’t work. Findings so far:

WORKS:
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005 7:00 pm
November 16th, 2005 7 pm
November 16th, 2005 7pm

FAILS:
Weds, November 16th, 2005 7:00 pm
November 16th, 2005, 7 pm

So, don’t abbreviate the day-o-week, and watch out for extra commas…

Extra linebreaks break textags, and if you don’t give a city and state the “Where” bits breakdown.

Now that I got it working, I am a fan.
Thanks, Assaf.

Due credit, it was other people who invented, I just decided to use. But it wasn’t RFC 822 or YAML. It was people sending me e-mails with textual markup in them, and the need to simply capture it.

Textags don’t attempt to create a model, or devise an alternative to XML, but to simplify the human input part for some very common use cases. KISS and focus on the common usage.

It makes it easier for me to tag posts, repost events, move the info around, etc. That’s a pretty serious benefit.

It appears you may have independently re-invented RFC 822 header fields: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/rfc822.txt (e.g. view source on any internet email message).

You may also want to take a look at YAML http://www.yaml.org/ which also contains a syntax like the one you came up with: http://yaml.org/spec/current.html e.g.

hr: 65
avg: 0.278
rbi: 147
