from what i can see at https://pypi.org/project/textile/ it needs 'nh3'
and 'regex'. only nh3 is missing in the portstree.

either as a comment in the Makefile, or eventually in the DESCR.

or you could also add @comment in from the the textile-related lines in
the PLIST for markups, this way support for it isnt advertized.

for markups, maybe the default HOMEPAGE ( https://pypi.org/project/Markups/) or
https://pymarkups.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ would be better than github ?)

the tests run fine for markups.

mdx-math still had a trailing dot for COMMENT, and an unneeded empty
REVISION.

retext needs RUN_DEPENDS on x11/gtk+4,guic for the gtk-update-icon-cache
@tag line, and i dont think you need wheel and packaging in RUN_DEPENDS
(wheel will automatically be in BUILD_DEPENDS via
MODPY_PYBUILD=setuptools)

maybe it could use a RUN_DEPENDS on pyqt6-webengine, enchant and
chardet, depending on which features they add ? webengine seems to be
used for some preview..

[project.optional-dependencies]
spellcheck = ["pyenchant"]
encoding-detection = ["chardet"]
webengine = ["PyQt6-WebEngine"]

other than that, i've briefly tested retext and it looks nice
feature-wise, great addition.
