... an implementation of Textile, like Ruby's Redcloth? ... some implementation like Ruby's 'Mechanize' library?
Thanks!

Have a look at Pier,
- http://www.piercms.com/doc/syntax
it's written in Smalltalk/Squeak and you can adapt it to any syntax you like.
... some implementation like Ruby's 'Mechanize' library?
Interesting, why would one use 'Mechanize', except for running a http-Spam bot ? ;)
Thanks!

If Ruby's Mechanize is like Perl's WWW::Mechanize (my guess), then the primary use is to test web sites from the HTTP level, a very legitimate usage.
google "randal schwartz perl mechanize" for a couple of columns I did on that.

There are lots of things you can do with it besides spamming. Testing is one, as Randal pointed out. Logging into a different service for aggregation, think mint.com or any number of services that aggregate your social networking sites. Doing mashups, like any number of datasets + google maps. Or, in the corporation, scraping that pesky legacy system that isn't going to be replaced anytime soon. I've also used it to put a skin over a site with a really, I mean really, crappy interface for a friend.

Thanks! Ruby's Mechanize is very much like Perl's Mechanize. I'll check it out.

So I did. Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't answer my question. I'm well aware of Perl's Mechanize (BTW, I didn't realize until I googled that you are _the_ Randal Schwartz of Perl fame) , I was asking if there were something similar in Smalltalk.

Sorry, I was answering "what is mechanize" not "is there a mechanize for Smalltalk".

Yes, this is actually what I was trying to get away from. I like Pier, it would suit the needs of some of my users well, but I shudder to have to teach them yet another markup language. It was painful enough to get them to accept Textile. If there was a Textile implementation in Smalltalk, then I was hoping to just add that to Pier. I don't mind porting a Textile implementation to Smalltalk, I was just trying to avoid duplication of effort.
Thanks!
