Add an option to enable Github-flavored-markdown (gfm) pre-format pass? about rdiscount HOT 7 CLOSED

I'd definitely accept a patch that allowed turning on GFM as a runtime option if it was in C :) I don't want to strap too much Ruby on top of the discount library. A C implementation could possibly get accepted upstream too.

It looks like discount handles the foo_bar_foo case already.
That really just leaves the 'in very clear cases, let newlines become <br /> tags' feature.

I opened up a ticket upstream to try and get some guidance and information on where in the discount code such a thing would make sense (or if it would at all).

GFM extensions are available in Discount 2.1.5a. And therefore will be available in RDiscount 2.1.5 eventually.

@cactus: It's not clear to me what exactly you're asking for in this issue. What specific parts of GFM markdown are you hoping to use?

from rdiscount.

wow. this was two years ago. I don't even remember.
Might as well just close it.

Okay.

Out of curiosity, are you still using RDiscount?
