== What is WhiteCloth? ==

WhiteCloth is a Ruby library for converting creole markup into html. Its name
is a pun with [[RedCloth|http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/redcloth/]] and
[[BlueCloth|http://www.deveiate.org/projects/BlueCloth/]], two Ruby libraries
for others markup: Textile and Markdown.

== What is creole? ==

Creole is a common wiki markup language to be used across different wikis.
It's not replacing existing markup but instead enabling wiki users to transfer
content seamlessly across wikis, and for novice users to contribute more
easily. Source: [[http://www.wikicreole.org/]]

== Can you show me a creole text? ==

Yes, you are reading it: this README file is an example of a text using the
creole markup! It contains **bold** text, and //italics//. The equal signs are
used for indicating titles.

Here is the beginning of a new paragraph. Paragraphs can be wraped on several
lines and are separated by a blank line. For the full description of creole,
you can visit [[http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0]].
