Textilize - redcloth

Rails
1

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

Are you including newlines? i.e. “\n”

Hi, Jörg,

thats got to do with the hardcoded :hard_breaks in rails textilize
helper:

File vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb,

line 84
84: def textilize(text)
85: if text.blank?
86: “”
87: else
88: textilized = RedCloth.new(text, [ :hard_breaks ])
89: textilized.hard_breaks = true if
textilized.respond_to?(“hard_breaks=”)
90: textilized.to_html
91: end
92: end

put your own helper in application_helper.rb, use that one and you
should be fine:

def tlize(text)
text = RedCloth.new(text)
return text.to_html
end

Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,

thanks for the answer, now paragraphs work but new lines do not?! : )
do you have another glue?

Thanks

No, new lines do work. It’s only when seperating text by a blank line
the text should be a paragraph, that does not work.

Jörg

i.e.:

This is what I write into my textarea:

test

test

this is what comes out:

*test
*test

and this it what should come out (Textile Reference):

test

test

thanks for any help!!!

Ahh, thats interesting, seems as if its kind of an ‘alternative’ thing.
maybe you’ll find something on redcloth forums or mailing-lists (there
surely are some?) or might try something like:

def tlize(text)
  text.gsub!( /(.*)(\n)/, '\1<br />' )
  text = RedCloth.new(text)
  return text.to_html
end

the regex might be quite naive (n00b), if you’ve got something better
tell us!

Redcloth 3.0.4 is b0rked. Everything will work as expected if you
downgrade to Redcloth 3.0.3
