redcarpet

I'm trying to render a table like this with Redcarpet | header 1 | header 2 | | -------- | -------- | | cell 1 | cell 2 | | cell 3 | cell 4 | but it's not working. Is it possible to render a table with Redcarpet ? Yes, you can render a table like that, but you have to enable the :tables option. require 'redcarpet' markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(Redcarpet::Render::HTML, :tables => true) text = <<END | header 1 | header 2 | | -------- | -------- | | cell 1 | cell 2 | | cell 3 | cell 4 | END puts markdown.render(text) Outputs: <table><thead> <tr> <th>header 1</th> <th>header 2</th> </tr> <

So I suppose there must be some css ready to copy and

It seems like syntax highlighting in Jekyll is limited to using liquid tags and pygments like so: {% highlight bash %} cd ~ {% endhighlight %} But I've imported my existing blog from wordpress and it was written in markdown (using markdown code blocks) and I don't want to have to go through each post and fix the code blocks. Also, I want to keep my posts in pure markdown format in case I ever need to switch blogging platforms again. I switched my Jekyll parser to redcarpet with the hope that I could use this markdown syntax: ```bash cd ~ ``` But it doesn't seem to work. It just wraps it in a
