  easy_format is a Ruby on Rails plugin that formats and escapes
  database text for HTML views. The result looks a lot like text in
  Gmail: line breaks are converted and HTTP links are linked up.
  
  It will not support tags like BBCode; it just formats plain text.
 
== Installation
 
  gem install ryanlowe-easy_format --source http://gems.github.com/
 
== Usage
 
  <%= EasyFormat.format(@post.body) %>
  
  Note: HTML brackets are escaped by format() so
  you do not need to use h() as well.
