Has anybody gotten :hard_breaks to work with RedCloth? I''m doing: self.body_html = RedCloth.new(self.body).to_html(:textile) which works, except that it doesn''t transform hard breaks to <br /> tags, which is really important for me. However, if I do: self.body_html = RedCloth.new(self.body, [ :hard_breaks ]).to_html(:textile) then it converts ALL breaks into <br /> tags, including what should be paragraph breaks, which get transformed into two consecutive <br /> tags. Anybody know a workaround for this? Thanks! Ryan
I''m not sure I understand the problem. What do you expect it to do with paragraph breaks?

Richard you nailed it. I''ve been experimenting with using a custom block (as Why described on http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/usingRedcloth3.html), without much success. Something like: text = "My first paragraph and second line. My second paragraph and second line. My third paragraph." class CustomRedCloth < RedCloth def textile_code( tag, atts, cite, content ) content.gsub(/\n/, "<br />") end end t1 = CustomRedCloth.new(text).to_html

That''s horribly broken, and I seem to remember running into exactly that bug with it... someone was refactoring it but I haven''t heard any updates lately, and so the solution is to fall back to 3.0.3.

Falling back to RedCloth 3.0.3 worked for me as well. Thanks Jay! On 1/28/06, Richard Livsey <richard@livsey.org> wrote:> Jay Levitt wrote: > > > > You''re not using RedCloth 3.0.4, are you?

My host, Dreamhost, has both 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 installed. How can I
preferentially load 3.0.3? I tried appending:
require_gem ''RedCloth'', ''!= 3.0.4''
to the end of my config/environment.rb, and killing Rails:
killall -9 dispatch.fcgi
(Yes, FastCGI was working before this.) But I get this warning:
Application error
Rails application failed to start properly
I''ve also tried this line instead:
require_gem ''RedCloth'', ''!= 3.0.4''
No avail. Any insights?
