Question

I’ve been trying to get styling working on site uncookedblog.com for hours now. I have tried using this TinyMCE gem, and CKeditor as well as some other gems. I just can’t figure this stuff out. All I want is for users to be able to format their posts, or at the very least have carriage returns recognized. Nothing complicated.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The answer to my question is really simple!!

To do simple formatting of text, like having carriage returns show in a text_area, just add simple_format in the view where you want the formatting to apear!

For example:

Changing

  <%= @article.body %>

to

  <%= simple_format @article.body %>

Will cause the text to show up with simple formatting!
