How can I easily allow blog posts (in a Rails app) to be formatted? Minimally I’d like to retain the carriage returns when text is displayed as HTML. I guess ideally it’d allow for bold, italic & indentation.
I’m aware of CKEditor. I just fear it may be overkill, and difficult to implement quickly & easily…
Why not use Markdown? There are lots of implementations. Refer to this SO post — Better ruby markdown interpreter?
