Format Details
TeX
TeX is a sophisticated typesetting system created by Donald Knuth for producing publication-quality documents, especially those containing complex mathematical notation. LaTeX, built as a macro layer on top of TeX, provides high-level document structuring commands and is the standard authoring format for academic papers in mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering. TeX/LaTeX documents produce typographically precise output that surpasses word processors.
documentTextile
Textile is a lightweight markup language originally developed for the Textile CMS and later adopted by the Ruby on Rails community and various blogging platforms. It offers a simple, readable syntax for headings, emphasis, links, lists, tables, and code blocks that converts to clean HTML. While less widespread than Markdown today, Textile is still used in content management systems and project management tools like Redmine.
documentConverting TEX to TEXTILE: what actually changes
TeX to Textile is one of the conversions this site performs, but the two formats are not interchangeable containers. Here is what the file keeps, what it loses, and how to get a result you can use.
What .TEX and .TEXTILE each hold
.TEX is a document format built for reading, printing or circulating a document, storing text, layout, fonts and images. .TEXTILE is a document format built for reading, printing or circulating a document, storing text, layout, fonts and images. Converting between them is a decision about which of those two jobs the result needs to do.
What changes in the conversion
Both files belong to the document category, so this is a like-for-like repackage: the same kind of content, stored in a different container. What changes is how .TEXTILE encodes text, layout, fonts and images — not what the file is about.
When this conversion is the right one
Reach for .TEXTILE when the software, device or platform you are sending to expects it — the content is the same document, only the packaging differs. The reverse direction works the same way, so you can always convert back from .TEXTILE to .TEX using the same tool.
Tips for a clean TEX to TEXTILE conversion
Start from the original file
Convert the .TEX you started with, not an earlier .TEXTILE output. Every extra round trip costs quality and can accumulate formatting drift.
Check the real type, not the extension
Application/x-tex becomes text/textile. If a file was renamed rather than converted, it will fail to open — rename it back to its true extension before uploading and the conversion will recognise it.
Keep the output next to the original
Save the .TEXTILE file alongside the source rather than replacing it. Having both means you can try a different target later without hunting down the original again.
Limits worth knowing
Uploads are capped per file (30 MB, or 100 MB for video) and processed temporarily — nothing is kept as a permanent copy. For huge document files, split or compress the source first.
