markdown_select 0.1 - Another Markdown Wrapper to Let You Use Your Library of Choice

by Gerald Bauer —

I’ve extracted the code for handling the loading and selection of different markdown libraries (such as kramdown, bluecloth, maruku, rpeg-markdown, rdiscount, pandoc-ruby, etc.) from the Slideshow gem and bundled up in its own gem, that is, markdown_select.

Comments

I also released multi_markdown a few weeks ago. I like how you normalized the options/output for each library.

Too long for FP, but:

Use it like:

require 'markdown_select' MarkdownSelect.new( 'Your Markdown Text Here' ).to_html

Why does markdown_select depend on kramdown?

postmodern —

Thanks for highlighting multi_markdown. Will add it to the alternatives section w/ the next readme update. markdown_select depends on kramdown because kramdown gets used as the all-Ruby fallback markdown engine. Cheers.

NOTE: The gem moved to a simpler name. markdown_select is now just markdown. New Markdown Engine Wrapper Projekt link. Cheers.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
