Why not just do

? Textile will ignore the  
tag.

I can do that but not everyone can do… I need to simplify it

I can do with %(css-class) what I want but It really would be better off  
the  
way I asked…

btw, looks like brand new RedCloth baked:

is there a way we can do it? coz although I am no expert I reviewed the  
code  
and I could include what I want atm

thank you…

well, i achieved what i want :))

i followed the steps sean and jason pointed

config.load\_paths.unshift “/path/to/gems/RedCloth-3.2.9.0/lib”

[http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2008-April/008358.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2008-April/008358.html)

plus line breaks also work charmly now

i use redcloth 3.301,

3.302 gives error:

$ ./script/console  
Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)  
irb: symbol lookup error:  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RedCloth-3.302/lib/redcloth\_scan.so:
