Bill,
With more recent version of pandoc, you can write filters for it in python.

To save possibly reinventing the wheel, has anyone written a filter for processing Textile markup analogous to the filters for Markdown and reStructuredText?
I tried using Pandoc to provide multiple formats of output (ConTeXt, EPUB, MS Word) from a common source but Pandoc is excessively tied to Markdown which does not understand the difference between emphasized text and italic text and only outputs {\em word}, <em>word</em>, \emph{word} and so forth which means I have to go through every instance of the tag and change tags where I want explicit italics as I use other typographical techniques (small-caps or sans-serif or ...) for emphasis but some things (book titles, ship names, foreign words/phrases et. al) are always set in italics by convention. Pandoc continues its "map everything to <em> ways even if the input is textile or (X)HTML. There are some other neat advantages to Textile as well such as local styling (CSS or \begin{environment}... or \startenvironment ...)
I know a lot of computer languages now and I really don't want to learn Lua or Haskell -- I'm retired! :)
