For your immediate perusal and swift renouncement:

RedCloth 2.0.2.  To upgrade: raa-install -i redcloth

RedCloth 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.

I'm using Textile to write the (Poignant) Guide.  It's been a real 
angel.  (But it didn't have to die to become one -- it's that good.)  If 
you like the formatting of the Guide, I'd check out Textile.  Smart 
quotes, cooperative with css.

Many have written about 2.0.1 saying that it couldn't handle Dean 
Allen's test input.  [1]  Sure enough.  Well, give this a whirl, should 
be fully sutured.

There are two people as well, Bret Pettichord and David Heinemeier 
Hansson, who have been instrumental in filing bugs and testing this 
particular fabric.  So, thank you Inspectors 9 and 73.
