I am trying to mix Textile into my Yaml document. I've got the latest  
Redcloth gem 2.0.11.

What is the best way to put them together? First YAML::load? First do  
Redcloth.new? How will the 2 conventions for newlines work together?

Thanks for any pointers!

"why's (poignant) guide to ruby" which you'll find at [http://poignantguide.net/](http://poignantguide.net/) is written in a YAML/RedCloth combination. At the project site [http://rubyforge.org/projects/poignant/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/poignant/) you can download the sources to study how why\_ put it all together.
