Redcarpet::Render::SeeingIsBelieving

Powerup the Ruby examples in your markdown. Combines the excellent Redcarpet (a markdown parser) with Seeing Is Believing, which shows the evaluated result from each line of code.

If your markdown includes a fenced code block with ruby+ specified as the language:

```ruby+
  animals = ["Aardvark", "Butterfly", "Camel"]
  animals.map(&:upcase)
```

Then you'll see the result of each line of code:

Usage

Add the following line to your Gemfile and bundle install:

gem "redcarpet-render-seeing_is_believing"

Then prepend the module in your renderer:

require "redcarpet/render/seeing_is_believing"
require "redcarpet"

class MyCustomHtmlRenderer < Redcarpet::Render::HTML
  prepend Redcarpet::Render::SeeingIsBelieving

  def block_code(code, language)
    "<pre><code>#{code}</code></pre>"
  end
end

Redcarpet::Markdown.new(MyCustomHtmlRenderer, fenced_code_blocks: true).
  render("some markdown!")

or combine with Rouge syntax highlighter:

require "redcarpet/render/seeing_is_believing"
require "redcarpet"
require "rouge"
require "rouge/plugins/redcarpet"

class MyCustomHtmlRenderer < Redcarpet::Render::HTML
  include Rouge::Plugins::Redcarpet
  prepend Redcarpet::Render::SeeingIsBelieving
end

Redcarpet::Markdown.new(MyCustomHtmlRenderer, fenced_code_blocks: true).
  render("some markdown!")
