Discount Markdown Processor for Ruby

Discount is an implementation of John Gruber's Markdown markup language in C. It implements all of the language described in the markdown syntax document and passes the Markdown 1.0 test suite.

Discount was developed by David Loren Parsons. The Ruby extension was developed by Ryan Tomayko.

Installation, Hacking

RDiscount Gem releases are published to RubyForge and can be installed as follows:

$ [sudo] gem install rdiscount

The RDiscount sources are available via Git:

$ git clone git://github.com/rtomayko/rdiscount.git $ cd rdiscount $ rake --tasks

For more information, see the project page.

Usage

RDiscount implements the basic protocol popularized by RedCloth and adopted by BlueCloth:

require 'rdiscount' markdown = RDiscount.new("Hello World!") puts markdown.to_html

Inject RDiscount into your BlueCloth-using code by replacing your bluecloth require statements with the following:

begin

require 'rdiscount'
BlueCloth = RDiscount

rescue LoadError

require 'bluecloth'

end
