ClothRed HTML 2 Textile converter¶ ↑

What it is¶ ↑

A library to convert HTML into Textile markup for use, for example, with RedCloth.

Requirements¶ ↑

All you need is Ruby.

Get it¶ ↑

Available as a gem on RubyForge: gem install ClothRed

Or download from RubyForge: rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3427

Or get the source: svn checkout svn://viewvc.rubyforge.mmmultiworks.com/var/svn/clothred

Bugfixes¶ ↑

Documentation is now generated on install time by RubyGems.

Features¶ ↑

This is alpha software, and only a few Textile rules have been implemented yet:

* font markup and weight (<b>, <strong>, ...)
* text formatting (<sub>, <sup>, <ins>,<del>)
* Support for headings
* Support for paragraphs and <blockquote>
* Support for Textile entities
* HTML is being escaped into UTF-8 via Ruby's CGI Library. This is the very last step in the process.

Usage¶ ↑

require ‘clothred’

text = ClothRed.new(“Bold HTML!”) text.to_textile
