Webgen::ContentProcessor::RDiscount

Summary

As short name for the content processor (used, for example, in the pipeline option of a block in a file in Webgen Page Format) one of the following can be used: rdiscount.

Description

This processor converts the content, which is assumed to be in Markdown markup, to HTML by using the RDiscount library. This library is based on the C based discount library which provides very fast Markdown processing. However, this processor does not support advanced features like the kramdown processor or Maruku Markdown processor do.

This extension is only available if you have installed the rdiscount library. The preferred way to do this is via Rubygems:

gem install rdiscount

Example

Here is a short sample of a text in Markdown markup:

# This a h1 header

You can just write *your* paragraphs here and
[link][1] them below. This is **nice** format!

> Citations are easy too.
> Really. And you can assign them attributes.

* Lists
* aren't
* difficult
* either.
