As stated on ruby-talk and “Progress of Nukumi2”, I released RubyPants 0.2 yesterday.
You can get it at http://kronavita.de/chris/data/rubypants-0.2.tar.gz.
RubyPants is a Ruby port of the smart-quotes library SmartyPants.
The original SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart” typographic punctuation HTML entities.
RubyPants is a general-purpose library that uses an API compatible to Red- and BlueCloth to perform these punctuation translations.
RubyPants 0.2 is also available via RPA:
rpa install rubypants
Have fun.
Nukumi2 is making nice progress. Today I added RSS and Atom feed support, plus Needlefication.
