Redcarpet v3.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-06-05 // almost 9 years ago

  • Redcarpet v3.3.0

    🚀 This new release ships with a bunch of bug fixes and improvements especially regarding anchor generation.

    👌 Improvements to anchors

    👍 The anchor generation algorithm has been improved. It now correctly strips out non-alphanumeric chars from the generated string ; it tries as much as possible to match the behavior of the Active Support's #parameterize method.

    Moreover, Redcarpet used to HTML-escape anchors rendered through the HTMl_TOC render. This is no longer the case but if you want this behavior back for any reason, you can now pass the :escape_html option instantiating the object.

    💻 Redcarpet's command line interface

    📜 The plain old Ruby file that was provided as a bin script now relies on a brand new API that you can use and that uses Ruby's OptionParser.

    📚 This allows you to create custom scripts for your needs. You can handle the provided files as you want and add new options or fall-backs (e.g. an option to use Pygments). Read the documentation of the Redcarpet::CLI class for further information.

    🗄 Undeprecate the RedCloth API compatibility layer

    🚀 This release actually un-deprecates the RedCloth API compatibility layer. Since Redcarpet provides a different API than most processors, it turned out that this layer is used in libraries that provide support for different Markdown parsers.

    🐛 Bug fixes

    🛠 As usual, some bugs have been fixed:

    • 🔗 Avoid parsing images when the given URL isn't safe and the :safe_links_only option is enabled.
    • Add the lang- prefix in front of the language's name when using :prettify along with :fenced_code_blocks.
