Redcarpet 2.0.1

Question

I'm following this tutorial but it keeps failing saying "undefined method `new' for Redcarpet:Module". I have gem "redcarpet" in my Gemfile. The piece of code that is failing:

Redcarpet.new(@post.content).to_html

Just a quick sanity check... you ran 'bundle install' after changing your gemfile, right? – Oca

Okay, it looks like Redcarpet 2 has completely changed the API. The following works:

markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(Redcarpet::Render::HTML,
    :autolink => true, :space_after_headers => true)
raw markdown.render(@post_content.content)

+1 I prefer to use markdown.render(@post_content.content).html_safe which also works. Not a fan of using raw anymore. – Eiser
