How to add markdown support to Ruby on Rails

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a product designer and developer. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

====================

I was recently asked to give an overview of how to add markdown support to a Ruby on Rails application. This guide will leverage a gem called Redcarpet to help us do just that.

I use markdown for virtually any work I do. I actually wrote then entire Hello Rails course in markdown. This blog's post editor is based in markdown as well. It's safe to say I love it over any other type of word editor out there. Adding support for it in a Ruby on Rails app is quite trivial thanks to a few gems out there. I'll be leveraging the Redcarpet gem in this guide.
