Subject: RedCloth full textile support?

I'm trying to use the redcloth gem to do textile markup.

It works, but doesn't seem to support the full set of markup.

For example trying a few examples from:
http://hobix.com/textile/quick.html which is linked to from _why?s
Redcloth page http://whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/redcloth/

require 'rubygems'
require 'redcloth'

class String
  def textilize
    RedCloth.new(self).to_html
  end
end

"*bold* _italic_".textilize # => "<p><strong>bold</strong> <em>italic</em></p>"
".h1 Heading".textilize     # => "<p>.h1 Heading</p>"

So a few things seems to work but many more don't.

Is there something I'm missing?
