I'm using textile to generate HTML for a specific page and in the copy, there is a need for (c) to be generated without the copyright symbol. Unfortunately, textile always does it.
Is there a way in textile to escape the parsing it does to change it (I know I could put spaces on either side of the "c," but that doesn't look nice)?

In Markdown, you can escape various characters using a backslash ( \ ), so if you wanted to type C#, you would use C\# .
Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown's formatting syntax.
5.2 Special characters If you want any special characters in R Markdown, LaTeX, or pandoc to appear as text, rather than having them perform some function, you need to “escape” them with a backslash. For example, pound signs/hashtags, backslashes, and dollar signs need to be preceded by a backslash.
A markdown parser is a library (a or some scripts) that are going to parse, in this case, markdown. Markdown is often transformed into HTML . So, a markdown parser transforms markdown into html. So, with a markdown parser, you'd just have to do something like this: html = parseMarkdown(markdown_code) And you're done.
Using the <notextile></notextile> tags in the markdown will cause the parser to skip whatever is between those two tags. RedCloth docs

Also using (c) will yield (c) rather than ©.
