markitUp WYSIWYG JQuery Editor, basic question - Rails app

I recently installed MarkItUp, the JQuery WYSIWYG editor located here: http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/documentation/

It was a pretty easy install, and my text area looks correct. However, the text is submitted, and appears exactly how it looked in the text box. I.e. if bold in the text box is ** bold ** then thats what shows up in the view, ** bold **.

I feel like I've missed something obvious. Any ideas?

Solution

  • You could use some markdown parser ... I suggest Rdiscount . link text

    have a good day!
