Markdown + Ruby + libupskirt

Inspired by Rick Astley wearing a kilt

Upskirt is an implementation of John Gruber's Markdown markup language. Upskirt is safe, fast and production ready. Check out the original version at http://git.instinctive.eu/cgit/libupskirt/

Redcarpet is Upskirt with a touch of Ruby. It is mostly based on Ryan Tomayko's RDiscount wrapper, and inspired by Rick Astley wearing a kilt.

Redcarpet is powered by a modified version of Upskirt, which has been updated to pass the official Markdown test suite and now has support for many additional features: autolinks, smartypants, safe filters, and a long etcetera.

Redcarpet is a drop-in replacement for BlueCloth, RedCloth and RDiscount.
