* *Jan. 22* With very minimal changes, Maruku now works in JRuby. It is very slow, though. Some benchmarks: * G4 1.5GhZ, Ruby 1.8.5: Maruku (to_html): parsing 0.65 sec + rendering 0.40 sec = 1.04 sec Maruku (to_latex): parsing 0.70 sec + rendering 0.21 sec = 0.91 sec * G4 1.5GhZ, JRuby 1.9.2: Maruku (to_html): parsing 4.77 sec + rendering 2.24 sec = 7.01 sec Maruku (to_latex): parsing 4.04 sec + rendering 1.12 sec = 5.16 sec * *Jan. 21* Integration of Blahtex. PNG export of formula and alignment works ok in Mozilla, Safari, Camino, Opera. IE7 is acting strangely. * Support for LaTeX-style formula input, and export to MathML. [Jacques Distler] is integrating Maruku into Instiki (a Ruby On Rails-based wiki software), as to have a Ruby wiki with proper math support. You know, these physicists like all those funny symbols. * To have the MathML export, it is needed to install one of: * [RiTeX] (`gem install ritex`) * [itex2MML] supports much more complex formulas than Ritex. * PNG for old browser is not here yet. The plan is to use BlahTeX. * Command line options for the `maruku` command: Usage: maruku [options] [file1.md [file2.md ... -v, --[no-]verbose Run verbosely -u, --[no-]unsafe Use unsafe features -b Break on error -m, --math-engine ENGINE Uses ENGINE to render MathML --pdf Write PDF --html Write HTML --tex Write LaTeX --inspect Shows the parsing result --version Show version -h, --help Show this message * Other things: * Created the embryo of an extension system. Please don't use it yet, as probably the API is bound to change. * There are a couple of hidden, unsafe, features that are not enabled by default.
