Hi, I basically run a very simple RoR app which works using RedCloth’s  
textilizing system.

I would just like to know if there is a way to edit for example the  
_e.g_ making things emphisised ect. I want to basically remove all  
the functions and things like that, as I want to use HTML tags instead  
of redcloth things for this, and RedCloth seems to proccess my HTML  
tags fine!

If anyone knows how to do this, or has a better method of just  
proccessing the tags, then please reply to my post in this thread.

Thanks,

Joe

So you just want to use HTML for formatting, with no Textile markup at  
all? In that case, you can just remove RedCloth from your app – you  
don’t need it if you’re not using Textile.

By the way, it’s not considered good form to bump posts on this list  
before about 24 hours.
