Ruby Forum Ruby on Rails > textilize - redcloth

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

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

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 (http://hobix.com/textile/):

*test*

test

thanks for any help!!!

Hi Jan,

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

Thanks

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!

Regards
Jan

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