Perhaps there needs to be a better way of handling what goes into the description field of a gem spec. Right now developers pretty much throw whatever they want in there. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes it is part of a README, including rdoc formatting, sometimes it is HTML, etc. etc. Would it be possible to be explicit in the documentation and either say *no markup* or specify a particular markup type?
I've been trying to make the display of the description in gemtacular nicer, but it just isn't happening because there is no consistency. In the end it would probably be best to just indicate that no markup should be included. Just thinking out loud here... :-) V/r Anthony -- Cell: 808 782-5046 Current Location: Melbourne, FL _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
