Subject: Re: rdoc patch - horiz lines in plain text files


While we're patching rdoc, here's one for the problem I reported in
ruby-talk:183692.

The problem is that three or more hyphens at the beginning of a line
should get marked up into a horizontal line, but two hyphens at the
beginning of a line are treated as toggling markup off (private
comments). This only happens in plain text files. In .rb files, the
behavior is correct.

This is a patch against 1.8.4. (The remove_private_comments method did
not exist in parse_simple.rb in ruby-1.8.2, and --- was treated correctly.)

+      comment.gsub(/^--(?!-).*?^\+\+/m, '').sub(/^--(?!-).*/m, '')
     end
   end
 end
