Good news! SuperRedCloth is down to just five failing tests! I was down to 10 or so in mid-February but then I added test cases from "The official reference manual for Textile 2", which added 97 new tests, many of them failing. I''m happy to say, they''re almost all passing now. Four of these last five I just need to check with you on before I deviate from

I tried to install RedCloth-3.274 in jruby (trunk) but the install failed when RedCloth tried to build the C code using mkmf: I forget whether SuperRedcloth ever did build in JRuby?? I know Hpricot (which also uses ragel which can compile to Java code) works in JRuby -- with the patch here: https://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/ticket/131) I might be confusing the two ... FYI: If you

Hello, I am in a bit of a bind. I need to reliably parse mediawiki markup to html, and the only parser that I can find (mediacloth) has a lot to be desired, so I would like to extend something that works and parse mediawiki markup. My question to this list is should I start working on RedCloth or SuperRedCloth or is there a difference as far as extending them? Also does anyone know of a write up

1.) What is everyone''s preference on NCRs or character entities? Textile 2 uses decimal NCRs, so a less-than character becomes &#60; whereas RedCloth (3.04 and prior) used &lt;. What is your preference? It gets tough because &#39; (a straight single quote) doesn''t have a character entity equivalent. 2.) How do you feel about encoding characters like quotes

Fellows of the cloth -- I''m writing code that subclasses RedCloth and emits styled text that is not HTML. For example, I''m going to be emitting RTF and other formats from Textile or Markdown. I''ve got it working quite well with plainclothed RedCloth, but I can''t seem to override any of the methods in SuperRedCloth. Here''s a sample:

Up to now, the tests have been running with whitespace stripped out. Newlines and tabs are insignificant in HTML, so I figured why bother with them? Now I realize why: they''re significant in pre tags and they also make your code look pretty! I''ve been working to get SRC output to roughly match Tetxile2''s as far as tabs and newlines go. It''s tough and

Who really uses strikethroughs?? This is one of the most common tripwires in RedCloth. You are the friend--the only friend--who has offered to help. Obviously em dashes. I died in -2006- wait, no, two-thousand-FIVE! Obviously strikethrough. I''m going on a trip - a long one - to the Virgin Islands. That''s got to be en dashes. Such a cheap, no-hassle, no-worry

Good day to the parliament of RedCloth followers gathered here. Grave matters at hand!! I''m personally quite unhappy with the state of RedCloth and am reluctant to release the code in the repository. I can''t say if the code works with any confidence because I can''t generate the (Poignant) Guide with the current RedCloth. I know some things are fixed, but I''m

Hi, I am writing some help about post formatting. I am using redcloth to format the text, and in a FAQ, also formatted with redcloth, I explain what to type to what to obtain. So, how could I escape ''*'', ''#'' & Co, to have an output like <redcloth> Type *word* to obtain <strong>word</strong> </redcloth> I tried "Type

SuperRedCloth v1.160 and svn rev 163 don''t work the textile commands that specify table headers instead of table data. Here''s a simple test: require ''superredcloth'' w = "|_. a|_. b|_. c|\n|1|2|3|" h = SuperRedCloth.new(w).to_html puts h <table> <tr> <td>_. a</td>

Hi, I''m trying to install RedCloth on CentOS. It came with ruby 1.8.5 pre-installed so I installed rubygems-1.2.0 since that seemed compatible (later versions require ruby 1.8.6). All looks good but when I try: [root at dev4 rubygems-1.2.0]# gem install RedCloth ERROR: could not find gem RedCloth locally or in a repository Can anyone tell me what I''m missing? Do I need to

This is off-topic. I''m hoping someone on this list can point me towards more general information on finite state machines, their definition, how to build them, determining when to apply them, etc. I read Zed''s blog entry from way back when covering Ragel [1] but he hasn''t followed it up and there aren''t many pointers to external information.

Hello, I''m new to this list, so first of all, many thanks to RedCloth''s developers, it really helps me in many ruby apps :-) I post here because I''d like to have a clear view on "hard_breaks" related issues. I saw old references on the web and on the archives on this ML, I''d like a fresh view ! It seems that RedCloth 3.0.4 does not handle

For a community project I aim to combine RedCloth and Coderay and on doing this, I might have found an issue with RedCloth.
