This isn’t a Budweiser commercial from years past! This is webby!

  1. Just to confirm – did you open output/index.html in a browser? And the ‘true’ that you describe is what you see in your browser…?

    Before you ran the webby command, did you edit any of the files, especially content/index.txt? Can you paste the contents of content/index.txt here…?

    Did you install RedCloth as well as Webby or did it install automatically as a dependency? If you run the following command, you can see whether RedCloth is installed.

    gem list RedCloth
