Redcloth poblems

Rails
1

Hi, I’m having some problems with redcloth(3.0.4 gem) and textilize.

I have a string:
"h2. hello

what’s up?"

which is being textilized as:

hello
what’s up?

so no paragraph and h2 wrapped all the way.

the input is coming from firefox 1.5.2 on a mac

Anybody got any idea what the problem might be?

I have had similar issues. It seems to come down to the :hard_breaks
option, which is enabled by default. I had to add a hlper method called
textilize to application_helper.rb that overrides the default behavior.

def textilize(text, options = nil)
if text.blank?
“”
else
textilized = (options ? RedCloth.new(text, options) :
RedCloth.new(text))
textilized.to_html
end
end

That should make textilize work as expected, and allows you to pass in
your option to the RedCloth object.

However single line breaks will not produce a
. If anyone knows
how to make textile work so “\n” is a
and “\n\n” does paragraphs
I would be quite interested to know.

yeah, that worked.
I knew there were problems with hard_breaks and rails in 3.0.3. but that
all of this might have been resolved in 3.0.4
I thought that both should be possible. Maybe it’s an either/or thing.
It does seem to be a redcloth issue though because textile should
handle both at the same time. Try doing it here:

Oh well, it’s working ok for now but not ideal.

thanks

I, too, would love to know how to do this with textile/redcloth.

Any suggestions with regards to this would be much appreciated!!

It seems like this was answered, but in case it wasn’t here’s a console
dump:

s=“this is\na two line string”
=> “this is\na two line string”
RedCloth.new(s).to_html
=> “

this is\na two line string

”
class RedCloth
def hard_breaks; true; end
end
=> nil
RedCloth.new(s).to_html
=> “

this is
a two line string

”

It does come down to hard line breaks. For further reference, see:
