Hi, I have several hundred pages of text, all carefully marked up with textile, which I use redcloth to convert to html for display. Now I find I need all these pages to alternatively output plain text - ie. A-Za-z0-9 and simple punctuation only. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? My only thought is to let redcloth do its stuff, and then strip out the html tags - but it feels wrong.

hello hello.. as i am both developing and using my rails app on my laptop and as i shut it down at least daily (at night - to conserve energy), i had put the ruby startup server command (ruby script/server -d) in a cronjob set to reboot. that way, by the time i opened my browser, rails was already running. presto. problem is, now that im using redcloth (via acts_as_textiled), i get an error on

Our app is on Rails 2.1.0 and has a couple of fields used for job descriptions. These fields use textile codes for bold, italic, underline, etc... From what I understand this is provided by RedCloth and acts_as_textiled. I have been investigating and find acts_as_textiled (https://github.com/defunkt/acts_as_textiled) is no longer maintained, and although forked into another gem (https://

Like most, I have a test and a production env. Both are CentOS 5, Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.0.2, MySQL 5, and Apache. Both were setup using the same procedure. Except for the hardware (test: Intel, prod: AMD) and memory (test: 512M, prod: 1G), both systems are essentially the same right down to the Rails env. Unfortunately, memory usage is very different for each. The test system has 2 mongrel

It''s nothing revolutionary. Just a plugin which lets you forget about the whole Textile to HTML render process. Once you tell your model which fields should acts_as_textiled (and as long as you''re using form_for for your text entry) it Just Works. No DB changes or whatnot.

Hi After having updated some GEMS I get `load_missing_constant'': uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Cache (NameError) on starting the server of a freshly generated rails project. Before, I already had Rails 2.3.2 projects succesfully running, now all of them generate this error. These are my GEMS: actionmailer (2.3.2, 2.2.2, 2.1.2, 2.1.1, 2.1.0) actionpack (2.3.2, 2.2.2, 2.1.2,

Like most people, I''ve got two machines: one for development and one for production. I''ve done everything I can to make sure the ruby/rails environments are the same, but of course they''re not identical (I''ll get into that in a moment). The error that I''m getting happens when I call a method in a background task controller on the production machine; I

I''ve been having great fun trying to deploy a fresh install of rails on debian, specifically xlsuite to test it out, but my god how many more errors can I take before I give up. RAILS IS NOT NICE After battling with countless different errors from trying Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows and now Debian the list goes on and on and ON... now the latest error `load_missing_constant'':

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

Hi, I''m using textilize with redcloth 3.0.4. Everything works best except that paragraphs are not translated as an HTML paragraph When I write something like: *first paragraph* second paragraph the output is without paragraph: *first paragraph* second paragraph Any help??? Thanks Jörg

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

I''m having a problem formatting some text. I have a textarea that I input my text into, which will then be put into an e-mail and sent out. The problem I am having is when there is a single line break. Multiple line breaks work fine (hitting enter twice), but single line breaks don''t seem to work properly. Take the following input: Line1. Line2. Line3. Line4. Using

Does anybody use and prefer Redcloth (or bluecloth, which appears to be alpha)? Does it affect performance much? Is there a way to get it to automatically process templates without having to call textilize? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

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
