VelvetRope

VelvetRope is a renderer to complement and enhance Redcarpet's default HTML renderer. For now, it adds support for emoji and syntax-highlighting.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'velvet_rope'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install velvet_rope

VelvetRope uses pygments.rb to provide syntax highlighting support. In order to turn this on, just pass the highlight_syntax option into VelvetRope on instantiation.

Redcarpet::Render::VelvetRope.new(:highlight_syntax => true)

You will need to generate the CSS for the Pygments theme that you would like to use for highlighting. You can find instructions on how to do that in the pygments.rb documentation.

VelvetRope uses gemoji to provide emoji support. In order to turn this on, just pass the emoji option into VelvetRope on instantiation.

Redcarpet::Render::VelvetRope.new(:emoji => true)

You will need to add the emoji images to your app. There are instructions on how to do so in the gemoji documentation.

Also, the default template for emoji images is:

'<img alt="' + name + '" src="' + "/images/emoji/#{name}.png" + '" style="vertical-align:middle" width="20" height="20" />'

If you would like to define your own template, you could do something like the following in an initializer:

module Redcarpet
  module Render
    class VelvetRope < HTML
      def emoji_template(name)
        '<img class="emoji" src="' + "/images/emoji/#{name}.png" + '" width="20" height="20" />'
      end
    end
  end
end

Fear not, my friend. Just pass the xhtml option into the VelvetRope renderer on instantiation.

Redcarpet::Render::VelvetRope.new(:xhtml => true)

Redcarpet's XHTML renderer is just a shortcut for this very option.

Create rake tasks to simplify setup and installation of Pygments themes and emoji image files.
