Is there a way to limit Textile parsing? Textile is great, but I don't want users leaving comments with the ability to add tables and so forth. Is there a way to limit what gets parsed? I've tried searching for a way to do this, but with not much luck.
I have no fear of diving in and getting my hard dirty, but I'm new to Ruby and to Rails and am just having a hard time finding the right direction to go in.
http://redcloth.rubyforge.org/rdoc/
Look at RedCloth.new and Redcloth#to_html
You can put the RedCloth parser into "lite mode" which disables block-level elements:
RedCloth.new( textile_str, [:lite_mode] ).to_html
Check out the docs at http://redcloth.rubyforge.org for more.

Thanks, Ben and Rick. I found what I need, which are the rules for the to_html method. I found that I could simply not include one of the rules to determine what did or did not get processed.
However, I did run into one hitch, which was the glyphs processing rule. Fortunately, RedCloth is open source and I was able to look in the source to find out what the problem was. It turns out the RedCloth documentation is out of date. Also, fortunately, there's a wiki entry on the rubyonrails.org site for RedCloth, so I was able to add the data to the wiki about the problem (until they update the official documentation) so others don't get stuck.
Thanks again for the help!
