I have looked at textile as I suspect it is the culprit causing a problem for me, but I would love to hear more information about the changes you have made so I can get a handle on textile.
If you wouldn’t mind sharing your changes with me I would appreciate it and will see if I can help you with your problem.

Ok I put it on the Wiki now ??

I’m not sure how the nextpage is involved, but that is probably because I am a new WordPress user.
Anyway, your idea sounds relatively solid.
I would STILL love to know how to get my custom tags past the parsers. I actually have fully working code that implements the idea, I just can’t get my tags back from the db.
The scheme is use currently is similar to the more tag. It hides the content and then uses a page anchor to let you jump to the correct place.
I created an exmple in my LiveJournal so you can see what I am trying to replicate. LJ Cut Example is the name of the post, it may not be first on the page, but it will be near the top, all depends on how much posting I do before you read it.
Anyway, my filter appears to handle this correctly (though come to think of it it may fail with permalinks, but I couldn’t tell you since I haven’t gotten them working yet….)
My code if you want to look at it. The algorithm is pretty simple, I think.
Agggghhhhhh…..so I went to play with it and it is working now…..so confused….though I doubt the html tags are working, but I could live without them…

Oh you didn’t bug me at all…..sorry if it came across that way ??
Anyway, I tried to hack my way around the issue by using no standard braces like [] {} and so forth.
This let’s the data get to the DB safely, but then of course I get beaten over the head on the display side and my tags get swallowed up there … DOH!
The basic problem is that I don’t have a firm understanding of the route my data takes from post form to display. Which is a real bummer since I have the code to parse the tags correctly. I actually would really like to find a way to protect the html style tags because the silly post mechanism is also mangling the user tag as well….

Yes, it is like a fold, exactly.
The best example I can think of is this,
I watch American Idol, Survivor and JAG. I want to write a post about this weeks shows for all three.
I want to write about what happened on AI but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who might have taped it but not yet watch it.
Then I want to write about JAG, but I don’t care if anyone reads the comments since it probably isn’t going to ruin the show.
Then I want to write about Survivor, again, not revealing anything for those who haven’t watched yet.
With the current more tag I have to carefully order the content so that JAG comes first, then the other two. But even this won’t be ideal because the person who watched Survivor, but NOT AI will be sent to the American Idol part of the post when they click the more link if it is first.
With the lj-cut tag you can use mutliple tags so that if you just want to read more about Survivor you can go to the post and it will anchor to the Survivor section.
I have spent several hours trying to hack my way around this (without hacking on the more tag itself) and I am stumped….every tag I try to make gets eaten by WP ??
I’ve tried
standard html style braces
[lj-cut][\lj-cut]
{lj-cut}{\lj-cut}
~lj-cut~~/lj-cut~
But they all are getting parsed out before my filter is called, so I lose them. I have a working filter that correctly parses all four tag styles, I just can’t ever get the tags to make it to my filter.
The html tags get mangled when I save the post to the db, I have no idea which function is causing that. The other 3 seem to be filtered out in the display code because they survive the trip to the db.

The question is WHICH one of them it is.
I have been trying to replicate the problem outside of WordPress, but so far can’t figure it out.
I just checked and the auto-update hack (which I hacked a bit) doesn’t currently convert to lj cut tags.
Also, I noticed that the more tag seems to only be allowed once.
So, unlike LJ you can’t do something like
Hidden Movie Spoiler
I love tacos man!
Hidden Movie Spoiler 2
Of course I might be doing it wrong as I am new to WordPress.
I could always do a hack to just convert the more tags. The only issue here is that you may only be able to have one “cut” in WP
