Ruby Forum Redcloth > Bug: NoMethodError: private method `gsub' called for nil:NilClass

Hi there.

I'm using RedCloth as part of a social network's blog system.

I came across the following bug when an img tag with the src attribute
is inputted, and filter_html is set to true.

I have pasted the code sample below.

 >> require 'RubyGems'
=> true
 >> require 'RedCloth'
=> true
 >> RedCloth.new('<img src="">',[:filter_html]).to_html
