Minor bug in RedCloth (?)

ruby-talk
1

Hi all,

just had RedCloth barf on me with a fairly large document and a bullet list at
the end of it. The error was “Exception NoMethodError' at /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/redcloth.rb:376 - private methodgsub’
called for nil:NilClass”

Changing line 376 of redcloth.rb from:

nl = nextline.gsub( /^([#]+)\s./, ‘\1’ )

to:

nl = (nextline || “”).gsub( /^([#]+)\s./, ‘\1’ )

seems to fix the problem - although i have not investigated any further than
that.

Cheers,
Martin

hi martin. sorry bout the bug.

say, do you want to try checking out from redcloth cvs? a number of
bugs have been fixed over the past few weeks (including the one you just
mentioned). give it a whirl, i’m hoping to push out a new version
when… when… we’ll just say next week.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/yaml4r login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/yaml4r co
