Subject: [ANN] RedCloth 2.0.7 -- A Textile Humane Web Text Generator

more and more, you've seen it all before (i swear it's slowin down):

RedCloth 2.0.7.  Available in RAA.
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/555/redcloth-2.0.7.tar.gz

RedCloth[1] is a module for using Textile in Ruby. Textile is a text 
format.  A very simple text format.  Another stab at making readable 
text that can be converted to HTML.

Credit this version to the reports from Jamis Buck and Bret Pettichord. 
  Jamis alerted me to problems with table attributes. [2]  Table 
attributes now work quite well and tests back it all up.

Bret Pettichord brought up lists.  I guess in the original Textile you 
can line up your text with the list markers:

   * List item one
     with a brief description

     Perhaps even more here.

   * List item two
     with another description

I've wanted this feature to work right for awhile.  It took a rewrite of 
the list handler, but it's all there now.

Bret also brought up a problem with relative links.  Links are a bit 
greedier now.  Better handling of punctuation in URLs.

Again, new reference up at http://hobix.com/textile/.  True thanks!
