Public Class Methods

discount_version → string click to toggle source

Return the version string of the Discount library BlueCloth was built on.

new( string='', options=DEFAULT_OPTIONS ) → object click to toggle source

Create a new BlueCloth object that will process the given string. The options argument is a Hash that can be used to control the generated markup, and to enable/disable extensions. The supported options are:

:remove_links: Ignore links in Markdown, and escape A tags in the output. Defaults to false.
:remove_images: Ignore images in Markdown, and escape IMG tags in the output. Defaults to false.
:smartypants: Do Smartypants-style mangling of quotes, dashes, or ellipses. Defaults to true.
:pseudoprotocols: Support Discount's pseudo-protocol links. Defaults to false.
:pandoc_headers: Support the extraction of Pandoc headers, which can be fetched as a Hash via the header method. Defaults to false.
:header_labels: Generate ID attributes for all headers. Defaults to false.
:escape_html: Escape all HTML in the input string. Defaults to false.
:strict_mode: Disables Discount's relaxed emphasis (ignores underscores in the middle of words) and superscript notation. Defaults to true.
