MarkItUp: Rails plugin that turns any textarea into a markup editor

Rails jQuery

I recently published a plugin that helps you turn any textarea into a markup editor. It is based on excellent markItUp! jQuery plugin.

Example

The most simple usage with preset defaults

<html>
<head>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "path/to/jquery" %>
  <%= mark_it_up '#miu_test' %>
</head>
<body>
  <% form_tag do %>
    <%= text_area_tag "miu_test" %>
  <% end %>
</body>
</html>

You can see a lot more cool examples in action on markitup.cingel.hr.

    I could not get this to work out of the box with rails 3. Will you be updating the plugin to work with rails 3, and time soon.

    thanks

    I will do my best to add Rails 3 support in the near future, till then you will have to replace
    < %= mark_it_up '#miu_test' %>
    with
    < %= raw mark_it_up '#miu_test' %>

    I just did a quick fix so it should now work out of the box in Rails 3.
