Though we''ve already mentioned it this morning, consider this the official announcement of RedCloth 4.0.0. It''s available on RubyForge, so all you have to do to get it is gem install RedCloth (don''t forget to make it CamelCase). Also, when I did a gem update RedCloth, I got an error, probably because we''ve never had to pick the platform before. A gem install RedCloth worked just fine for updating, though. I''d like to thank _why for starting the rewrite and then so freely giving up the reigns. It''s surely not as good of code as if he''d written it all himself, but there it is, functional and built on the foundation of his solid work and that of Adrian Thurston, Dean Allen, and many others. We could''ve put out testing gems forever, but at some point you have to release and see how it does in the wild. One bug has already been reported that I think warrants a 4.0.1, but I''d like to wait at least a week and deliver several bug fixes at once. Thanks for your patience during the rewrite and your input along the way! Upwards, Jason -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, Congratulations to the RedCloth 4.0.0 release and thanks for the outstanding work and all your efforts. I''ve upgraded the slideshow (S9) gem that lets you author slides/presentations in Textile to use RedCloth 4.0.0 to test out the new machinery. (You can find some samples @ http://slideshow.rubyforge.org/svn/samples ) All works great except for one slide in the Merb deck. The slide title reads: h1. -vendor/plugins- gems Before 4.0.0 that would translate to: <h1><del>vendor/plugins</del> gem</h1> But now no longer honors the deletetion modifier and just ends up as: <h1>-vendor/plugins- gem</h1> Anyways, thanks again for the outstanding work and all your efforts to make the RedCloth 4.0.0 release happen.

Gerald, I''ve filed your bug report as a ticket here: http://jgarber.lighthouseapp.com/projects/13054-redcloth/tickets/20- strikethrough-in-h1-not-working Thanks for reporting it!

Hello,> Gerald, I''ve filed your bug report as a ticket here: > http://jgarber.lighthouseapp.com/projects/13054-redcloth/tickets/20-strikethrough-in-h1-not-workingThanks for adding the ticket and looking into it. Just a little addition. I did some more testing and found the strikethrough won''t get honored only if it starts out e.g.: h1. -vendor/plugins- gems -vendor/plugins- gems Won''t work. But: h1. yada yada -vendor/plugins- gems yada yada -vendor/plugins- gems Will work. In the ticket you write: "You can use square brackets to force a strikethrough." I''d appreciate if you can give an example as I am unclear how to force a strikethrough (e.g. do you mean using just html e.g. h1. <del>vendor/plugins</del>). Again thanks for your efforts in getting RedCloth 4.0.0 out the door. Cheers. -- Gerald Bauer - Internet Professional - http://geraldbauer.wordpress.com
Hey, Gerald. I should have provided an example. Sorry about that. Let me give a little explanation for everyone''s benefit: All the inline modifiers can be made a little more explicit by surrounding them with square brackets. So, if you want to make a link to a "Wikipedia article about Textile":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language) , you can''t get the last character of the link because how would RedCloth know if the link ended with a parenthesis or you just surrounded a link in parentheses (like "this":http://redcloth.org/)? Square brackets to the rescue: ["Wikipedia article about Textile":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language) ] works perfectly. Same with your strikethrough: surrounding the strikethrough with square brackets makes it work: $ redcloth h1. [-vendor/plugins-] gems outputs: <h1><del>vendor/plugins</del> gems</h1> Yes, it''s annoying and it doesn''t conform to Textile 2, but it saves a lot of frustration over things being accidentally struck through, which happened a lot with the old version. Try this with RedCloth 3.x: If I use dashes--like this--to make my statement, it used to get struck through. and you''ll get <p>If I use dashes-<del>like this</del>-to make my statement, it used to get struck through.</p> As I said in the ticket, if someone can come up with a patch that doesn''t sabotage normal text-with-hyphens, I''d be glad to accept it!
