Forum: Redcloth Psych can't load LaTeX entities file

Hi there,

I wanted to use RedCloth with my RubyOnRails 3 application, but it seems
that RoR uses 1.9.2's Psych by default as the YAML parser if available,
and Psych fails to load the LaTeX entities file:

The criticized line is this one (for whatever reason Psych's error
reporting is off by 1 line):

====================================================================
ldquor: ,,

There are some more occurences of such characters in that file. Apply
this patch and loading works fine:

Steps to reproduce:

1) Get a Ruby build with Psych support (the libyaml development headers
have to be present when compiling Ruby)
2) Go to IRB
3) require "psych"
4) YAML = Psych
5) require "redcloth"

It's already fixed in master. I'm working on pushing it out now. Thanks 
for
reporting it, though! I wanted to make sure I had caught up with 
everything
before I pushed a release.
