After 'sudo gem install RedCloth' I got....

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing RedCloth:

As for Perl, that is a mystery to me...

I've followed the instructions for adding textile to Marked, but I'm somehow not getting it to work. I verified at the command line that both the Perl textile application and RedCloth applications do the correct conversion. However, Marked only shows it as two paragraphs without the correct markup. I've verified that the paths to the two applications are correct, so I'm a bit lost at this point.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm not into Ruby, but putting together a CLI was really simple: https://gist.github.com/108...
The parser is actually quite good, and even handles references in some cases, while not all.

At first I only got a blank window in Marked, but it was just a PATH issue. With some help from
http://stackoverflow.com/qu... I got it working.

A few other things that would be cool:
- Allowing for different processors for different extensions (or remove the extension limitation altogether..)
- enable copy/paste in the "custom markdown processor" text field in Prefs
- an error message when the processor fails, not just a blank window

While simple, this program is actually quite useful! Do you know a MediaWiki command line parser?

Hey, and would there be a way to preview LaTeX in marked? That would so increase the number of buyers…
