At first I thought I'd expect the same result as if each line was processed for itself. Now, after getting some sleep, that seems silly to me, as you'd definitely loose the context/state (which sub list you're in, whether you're inside a pair of quotes spanning several lines...). This morning I realized that the tests I wrote (and which contain a bug :-/ I admit, but the 2nd test didn't get executed), don't behave _exactly_ like the rakefile which processes the RedCloth files. After fixing that (insertion of extra line breaks), it works as I thought it should. And I just found out that indenting lists with spaces (in the RedCloth 'source' I mean) is not a good idea, while using tabs is OK. Is that an intended behaviour? I've learned quite a bit about Textile & RedCloth last night and this morning. :-) Thanks & happy rubying Stephan
