Pink Shirt

text =  "This is *my* text."
html = RedCloth.new(text).to_html
same = PinkShirt.new(html).to_textile
same #=> "This is *my* text."

I had a problem: some html needed to be textile

None of the available options could get back to exactly where you started.
They weren’t ‘reversable’.

I learned a lot by reading other’s who went before.
I’ve looked at: html2texile
I’ve looked at: clothred
I’ve looked at: a deeply buried module in humpyard

This library still has some problems with whitespace management, but the majority of the the tags convert.

It’s based around textile-spec
and built to produce mirror images of html produced by
RedCloth
