I need to use * in my wiki, set to use Textile. How can I escape it,
so it's not considered the start of a bold sequence? Thanks.

<notextile>* foo</notextile>

Had a hard time finding this myself :)

<notextile> is handled by RedCloth to prevent processing of the
enclosed content. There's also the more generic <nowiki> in Instiki
that will escape all wiki transformation (like linking WikiWords).
(But note that in Instiki 0.10.1 there is a bug where the <nowiki>
cannot span multiple lines; a bug that has been fixed in svn :)

HTH,
Assaph
