Solution

  • Reading through a lot of Textile's own help files, there's no way to put a header inside of a link. There is, however, a way to put a link inside of a header.

    The reason is that Textile has two concepts of objects. "Block" objects and "phrase" objects. All phrases are contained within blocks, and any phrase can be contained within only one block. Blocks may not contain other blocks, and phrases may not contain blocks.

    h1 is a "block" element. a is a "phrase" element. Therefore h1 can contain a, but a cannot contain h1. To do this you would type:

    h1. "Link text":http://example.com
