Summary: RedCloth 4.2.0 Released
Project: RedCloth
This release makes a *significant change* to list formatting that breaks
backward compatibility but adds significant utility to styling individual list
items. If you use formatting on bullet and numbered lists, be sure to learn
about this change in the CHANGELOG.
Also in this release:
* Ruby 1.9 string encodings are preserved
* Table cell parsing has been enhanced to handle empty cells and cells
containing text with line breaks
* A major regression in the handling of notextile blocks has been fixed
* There is better handling of quotes inside quoted phrases, question marks
inside citations, etc.
* Numerous LaTeX fixes thanks to NASA scientist Bil Kleb.
* A pure-Ruby version of the state machine for those that absolutely can't
compile the C extension or use the precompiled JRuby or Win32 binaries.
Consider yourself warned, however, that it's slow, doesn't handle multi-byte
strings, and isn't compatible with Ruby 1.9. It's only provided as a last
resort for people who would otherwise be forced to use RedCloth 3.0.4. The
generated ruby source is not being released to protect lazy people from
themselves. If you must use it, you must build it yourself. |
