RedCloth formatting issues

Rails
1

Hi,

I am using Rails 1.2.3 and RedCloth-3.0.3.

I am using redcloth to format user enter text to html: textilize(@text).
I have these issues:

  1. Cannot leave spaces in front of a new line: I mean if i try something
    like this:

Case a) Input:
Few spaces before this line

    Output:

Few spaces before this line

spaces are removed

Case b) Input

Normal first line

 Second line has few spaces in front

   Output:

Normal first line

Second line has few spaces in front (In a smaller font)

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Sandeep G

Redcloth is poop. I have a prefrence for textile but switched to
markdown as redcloth had so many problems.
Check out Blucloth gem

Take a look at the textile quick reference
http://hobix.com/textile/quick.html. You can use

p((. left ident 2em

to indent a line.

Hi Adam,

Is Bluecloth working fine for you. Heard bluecloth is 20% more slower
and crashes at times? Have u faced any?

Thanks for the input.
But I don’t want users to force the identation. When users type in the
text_field, if they ident with spaces, I should be able to display the
same way.

In fact , I am storing user entered text in DB. In DB i have the
identation intact. Only when i display with redcloth, it gets bad …

Any suggestion here?
