BlueCloth

=========

Important: this repository is abandoned in favor of much

quicker implementations such as [bluecloth 2.0][2] and RDiscount.

This is **a fork of BlueCloth 1.0.0** (2004/08/24) from its trunk. It's been

created to fix some of the outstanding bugs in its implementation.

The plan is to first clean up the messy test suite (using RSpec), make existing

tests pass (a lot of them fail right now) and, finally, add tests for annoying

bugs and making them pass also.

I also want to break down its implementation not to be entirely contained in

one file ("lib/bluecloth.rb") anymore. Together with a nicer test suite, that

will probably make it easier to maintain.

Original version by John Gruber .  

Ruby port by Michael Granger .

BlueCloth is a Ruby implementation of [Markdown][1], a text-to-HTML conversion

tool for web writers. To quote from the project page: Markdown allows you to

write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to

structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
