Maruku v0.4.1 Release Notes
-
๐ Implemented SmartyPants support:
'Twas a "test" to 'remember' -- in the '90s --- while I was <<ok>>. She was 6\"12\'.
'Twas a "test" to 'remember' -- in the '90s --- while I was <>. She was 6\"12\'.
I adapted the code from RubyPants.
Server directives between
<? ?>
are properly preserved.๐ Changes in LaTeX export:
Now Japanese text rendering sort of works, using the following packages:
\usepackage[C40]{fontenc} \usepackage[cjkjis]{ucs} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
Nevertheless, I could only get bitmap fonts working -- probably it's a problem with my setup.
A quick test: ๆฅๆฌใไธญๅฝใใฒใใใชใใซใฟใซใใ
Fixed bugs in rendering of immediate links.
External packages are
require
d only if needed.More symbols supported. See the symbol list in HTML and in PDF.
0.4
- First implementation of [the new meta-data syntax][meta].
- ๐จ General refactorization of the code and much cleaner error reporting.
- ๐ Created [the RDOC documentation][rdoc].
- The
add_whitespace
method took too much time -- it was O(n2). - โ Added unit-tests for block-level elements.

0.3
๐ A real parser is used instead of a regexp-based system, also for span-level elements.
Now Maruku is almost 2x faster than Bluecloth, while having more features.
Here are some benchmarks:
BlueCloth (to_html): parsing 0.00 sec + rendering 1.54 sec = 1.55 sec Maruku (to_html): parsing 0.47 sec + rendering 0.38 sec = 0.85 sec Maruku (to_latex): parsing 0.49 sec + rendering 0.25 sec = 0.73 sec
This is the result of running
lib/maruku/tests/benchmark.rb
on the Markdown specification.Prettier HTML output by adding whitespace.
โ Added a full suite of unit-tests for the span-level parser.
๐ Error management: Having a real parser, Maruku warns you about syntax issues.
The default action is to warn and try to continue. If you do this:
Maruku.new(string, {:on_error => :raise})
then syntax errors will cause an exception to be raised (you can catch this and retry).
๐ Fixed a series of bugs in handling inline HTML code.
Immediate TODO-list:
UTF-8 input/output works OK for HTML, however I am having pain trying to export to LaTeX. I want at least Japanese characters support, so if you know how to do this you are very welcome to give me an hand.
For example: in the HTML version, you should see accented characters in this parenthesis:
(ร รจรฌรฒรน)
and Japanese text in these other parentheses:
(ใซใฟใซใใง ็งใฎ ๅๅใฏ ใขใณใใฌใข ใใงใณใท ใงใ).
(ๆฅๆฌใฎใฌใซใฏ ๅคงๅฅฝใใใงใใๆฅๆฌ่ชใฏ้ฃใใงใใใใใใใ ่ฑ่ช่ฉฑใใฌใซใ ใใใใฆใใ ใใ).
In the LaTeX version, these do not appear. I know how to do LaTeX with ISO-8859-1 encoding (European characters), but I'm struggling with half-baked solutions for UTF-8 encoded documents.
Implement the [new meta-data proposal][proposal].
๐จ Exporting to Markdown (pretty printing).
Exporting to HTML splitting in multiple files.
๐ RubyPants.
๐ Support for images in PDF.
