Redcloth - ok, i give up. Please help!

Just as I get one part of redcloth working, something else seems to stop
working.

Here is my code so far…

def text_output(text)
textilized = RedCloth.new(text, [:filter_html, :filter_styles ])
simple_format(textilized.to_html(:inline_textile_span,
:glyphs_textile, :inline_textile_link))
end

This is what I want to do to my ‘text’…

  • Allow bold
  • Allow italic
  • Allow “links”:www.link.com
  • Stop all CSS & Table code in redcloth
  • Escape all other HTML
  • Format paragraphs like so

blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah</p

Does anything in my code look really wrong? Any ideas how I’d get the
results I want?

I’d really really appreciate some help with this!

Thanks

Scott
