Markitup! For Rails3
Markitup_rails is a Rails 3.1 engine that allows you to integrate the {MarkItUp}[http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/] text editor into the asset pipeline.
This uses the 1.1.12 release of Markitup, by {Jay Salvat}[http://jaysalvat.com]
This engine allows you to add in the CSS and Javascript as written in the MarkItUp plugin. I would strongly recommend that you read the documentation tha comes with MarkItUp.
This engine includes the following MarkItUp elements:
- MarkItUp images and stylesheets
- MarkItUp javascript
- MarkItUp sets for Hmtl, Markdown
MarkItUp support a variety of markup parsers, however, this plugin only includes support for Markdown and HTML. Pull requests are welcome!
