USAGE

-----

RDiscount implements the basic protocol popularized by RedCloth and adopted

by BlueCloth:

    require 'rdiscount'

    markdown = RDiscount.new("Hello World!")

    puts markdown.to_html

Additional processing options can be turned on when creating the

RDiscount object:

    markdown = RDiscount.new("Hello World!", :smart, :filter_html)

Inject RDiscount into your BlueCloth-using code by replacing your bluecloth

require statements with the following:

    begin

      require 'rdiscount'

      BlueCloth = RDiscount

    rescue LoadError

      require 'bluecloth'

    end
