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( :pdf, 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.
