Wikitext 1.6 released

A new version of the Wikitext gem, version 1.6, is now available. This is a minor feature and maintenance release (release notes).

Wikitext is a fast wikitext-to-HTML translator with a syntax very close to that used by MediaWiki. It is a Ruby extension written with speed and robustness in mind using a Ragel-generated scanner and a hand-coded parser, all in C. It has an enormous spec suite.

You can browse the source code repo, or download the gem from the RubyForge downloads page. For an overview check out the RDoc here. If you have RubyGems then you can install it with sudo gem install wikitext.

If you find the extension useful please consider making a donation via PayPal.
