Hey @parkr before we merge this can I also suggest that we update the documentation to mention the fact that the default for new is now RedCarpet?

[zachgersh]

Annnnddddddd it's merged LOL

[parkr]

@mattr-'s on a plane. He might not have gotten that :)

The default for all Jekyll sites will still be MaRuKu.

Uno momento, por favor

Right, but shouldn't we explain that the site template when you use jekyll new will use a completely different pre-processor? Seems like we could just mention it in the quick-start as one of our nice info boxes :)

We should probably also install redcarpet by default since new sites won't
work out of the box without it.

Should Jekyll’s official site not be a role model and use Redcarpet as default markdown engine? Dogfooding is convincing.

[parkr]

We need to maintain header links, e.g. Writing posts = #writing_posts, which RedCarpet (to my knowledge) doesn't support in 2.x.

[mattr-]

correct. it won't support that until 3.1.

Hi friends!

On http://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#default_configuration, it says: markdown: maruku (a.k.a. maruku is default parser).

Just confirming this should be redcarpet now? I'll fix it if so.

Thanks!
Matt

Nope, the programmatic default is still maruku, but when you generate a site with jekyll new, you'll see markdown: redcarpet in your _config.yml. :)

Understood! Thanks @parkr. 👍
