RedCloth 3.0.3 -- Humane Text for Ruby

[why the lucky stiff]

Hello. Another new RedCloth. I'm just pushing these out so we can get
stable as soon as possible. This release contains a few small fixes and
appears to be stable.

RedCloth is a processor for Textile and a subset of Markdown. Both are
text formats which can be transformed into XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Let me give you a roadmap of what to expect with RedCloth 3 in the
coming months.

RedCloth 3.1 will focus on getting us diverse outputs. I am reconciling
LaTeX and Docbook patches right now. I also have a ClibPDF patch.

Here's how these output plugins will work.

1. Output libraries will be named according to the name of their output
method:

require 'redcloth'
require 'redcloth/to_pdf'

2. The output method will pass its options to RedCloth's `convert_to'
method. In this example, a ClibPDF is passed in and the Textile
fragment is added to the PDF.

class RedCloth
def to_pdf( pdf, *rules )
@pdf = pdf
convert_to( df, rules )
end
end

3. The `convert' method will process Textile rules, calling methods
named with the format prefix.

class RedCloth
def pdf_h1( tag, atts, cite, content )
@pdf.newline
@pdf.textPara( "NewCenturySchlbk-Roman", 14.0, LEFT, 0.0, 0.2,
content )
end
end

Once these output plugins are in place, I'll finish up the remaining
Markdown syntax in RedCloth 3.2.

Hello. Another new RedCloth.

Super extra nifty cool. Thanks!

No wonder RedHanded slowed down a touch.

Our FUN3D site just roared through with 3.0.3.

RedCloth 3.1 will focus on getting us diverse outputs. I am reconciling
LaTeX and Docbook patches right now. I also have a ClibPDF patch.

Excellent news!

Note: my tests/hacks were geared toward using Peter
Wilson's memoir LaTeX package.

Now, I am going to have to find something to do during my
Orlando trip next weekend. Anyone in the area want to trade
some transportation to/from a Disney World hotel for a local
ride around the patch in http://www.grumman.net/n9734u ?
(I'm planning on flying into Kissimmee [ISM] Friday
afternoon/evening and leaving Tuesday afternoon.)

Thanks again,
