Hey All, I''m attempting to upgrade my app from rails 2.0.2 to 2.3.3. One bit that''s failing is this call here (in /views/projects/show.html.erb) <%= markdown(@project.description) %> That earns me a: uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper::Markdown On that line.

I have a model that deals with HTML and I want to use the text_helper.sanitize method to strip the HTML of Javascript. However, it doesn''t appear that I can get easy access to the text_helper methods from within a model. Anyone have any suggestions for how to do this?

Within the TextHelper class, there''s an attempt to create a new "Tag" object. However, Tag is also defined in the RubyfulSoup gem and it is _this_ Tag class whose initialize method is

Hello folks, Here''s a question about creating an edit screen for a model and a related model. On page 355 of the AWDWR book (printed page 464 of the 2nd edition pdf), there''s a little table showing how form parameters map to the params object.

I''m writing a bloggish/CMSish thing. I had been using simple_format, but my users requested a rich editor, so I added TinyMCE. Anyway, I was trying to migrate the existing content (since TinyMCE assumes it''s reading HTML-formatted text), and realized that I couldn''t call simple_format (or other helper methods) from Migrations. Can someone enlighten me here?

I want to test that the JSON response from a create action is sanitized properly, but rspec or webrat appears to be parsing the output into proper HTML chars instead of escaped characters.

Hi I''ve contributed a patch which fixes an incorrect example in the documentation for auto_link in ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper. The example uses truncate in the old style of tuncate(text, length) which no longer works, so I''ve patched it to use the new tuncate(text, :length => n) style.
