Note: Resend to the list; I did send this mail to bastien alone, not the list - mea culpa.

I installed github/markup locally and changed the Gemfile to enforce versions from 0.6.0 upward -- at least my zshrc.org[fn:2] looked a lot better processed with newer versions. > >> What do I have to do to achieve this?

Maybe you could make yourself heard in the issue I opened [fn:1]; it is actually the third issue I opened, I never got a response and closed the other ones -- maybe my conclusions are wrong, and an update of org-ruby wouldn't help (that much) -- but with more people actually requesting better org-support, maybe it will get a bit more attention and progress. kine regards, Tom > > ¹ https://github.com/bdewey/org-ruby [fn:1] https://github.com/github/markup/issues/117 [fn:2] https://github.com/tomterl/zshorg/blob/master/zshrc.org
