RDiscount on JRuby?

hi guys,

longtime Java hacker but JRuby n00b here trying to get up to speed on an
orphaned Ruby project in my org. I’ve been asked to try to get it
running on
JRuby but one of the gem dependencies is on RDiscount, which looks (
http://github.com/rtomayko/rdiscount/tree/master/ext/) like it’s native,
and
from what I hear JRuby doesn’t like native gems…

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get rdiscount or an equivalent
(markdown) replacement working on JRuby? eg
JHamlhttp://github.com/raymyers/JHaml
?

many thanks!

Never used it personally, but googling ruby markdown seems to
turn up a lot of options to explore :slight_smile:

FWIW,
