Rails 4 WYSIWYG Bootsy not displaying formatting - ruby-on-rails

I've just followed the install instructions at the the bootsy gem page and it all looks good until I save and look at the post's content.
This is what the output looks like in the view:
<h2>Header</h2><h3>Sub head:</h3><br><img alt="Thumb 1320236280147" src="/uploads/bootsy/image/1/1320236280147.jpg">
It seems that none of the html formatting is being rendered as it is being escaped by quoation marks or something like that - has anyone else had this problem? I haven't seen any issues on the github page or on SO to point me in the right direction.
I haven't done anything yet apart from follow the gem install instructions but maybe I missed something or am just making a stupid mistake.
If there's anything else you want to know please just ask.
Cheers


You need to have something like this, escape html:
<%= f.bootsy_area(:body, class: 'bg-code').html_safe %>


Sergio is correct but have the .html_safe on the output rather than the input.
For example, on a post index:
<%= post.body.html_safe %>
Hope this helps.


maybe use raw?
<%= raw(post.body) %>


You can also add to bootsy.rb
config.editor_options = {
html: true
.....
}
to enable you to toggle html in the bootsy editor .

Render images into my post content

I'm trying to add images to my post which I thought that would be easier but god I've been struggling for a while now.
I tried to use Redcarpet and added some ruby Image_tag code but didn't work. Also I tried with tag and the raw method but no luck. I don't know I've been going around but I couldn't fine anything and I think I'm not asking nothing weird or complicated ahah.
Just add pictures from my /assets/images folder if is possible.
<%= img_tag ("my_photo.jpg")%>
How do you recommend to do it?
Many thanks

I use the image_tag helper and this has always worked fine for me. You could try this:
<%= image_tag("my_photo.jpg")%>

I figured it out. I used HTML tag instead of Ruby code.
<%= raw (#post.content) %>
As I am using assets pipeline:
<img src="/assets/my_photo.jpg" alt="twd" class="img-rounded"></img>
My issue was that I was calling my photo as /images/my_photo.jpg instead of /assets/my_photo.jpg... simple as that

How would I implement google's new reCaptcha in Haml?

I'm trying to implement the new Google recaptcha in my Rails 4 app but I'm unable to get the widget to display in Haml. Basically what I'm trying to do is to make this code
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="your_site_key"></div>
into somehting like this:
%div{class: 'g-recaptcha' data-sitekey: 'your site key'}
The way how I try to write it above gives me an error on the data-sitekey part.
I also tried to write it like this:
%div{class: 'g-recaptcha' 'data-sitekey' => 'your site key'}
and still no luck. Has anyone attempted to do this? Apparently there is not too many stackoverflow questions or online resources dealing with this. But if someone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it?
*Also, what is the data-sitekey considered? It's not a class or an id. What is it? Maybe I have the formatting wrong?

This is the most concise equivalent haml:
.g-recaptcha{data: {sitekey: 'your site key'}}
Your second example would also be equivalent, but you're missing a comma:
%div{class: 'g-recaptcha', 'data-sitekey' => 'your site key'}
data-sitekey is a html5 data attribute.
html2haml can convert HTML to haml.

Using the Mercury editor with Rails 3 my html <div> etc tags are getting converted to &lt and &gt

Not sure how to fix this. should I be using .html_safe?
When the page renders I am getting a lot of:
<div><br><
which is obviously not what I am after.
Thanks.

Use CGI.unescapeHTML
<%= CGI.unescapeHTML(content) %>

sublime text 2 ruby

I've been watching some Railscast episodes and it looks like he's using Sublime Text as his editor. How does he create new <% %> tags? I can tell he's using a shortcut but can't figure out what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

I really don't know what the "<% %> tags" are, but I imagine the presenter is using the ERB Insert and Toggle Commands add-on. The animated GIF on the project's description page shows such things being used.

Adding Markdown into my Rails 3 app

I am trying to add Markdown to my Rails 3 web app but am having problems.
I have tried rdiscount and markdownizer but either they're not working or I'm not writing the correct code for them.
The code I have at the moment to display a text field is <%=h simple_format (#user.desktopinfo) %>
I want to increase the functionality of this text by adding Markdown but I am unable to get it work, please help! :)
EDIT 2
Using markdownizer broke my app, so I am now using BlueCloth. Add bluecloth to the gem file and add this <%= raw BlueCloth.new(#user.desktopinfo).to_html %>
:)
EDIT
Actually, just trying again...
With markdownizer, with markdownize! :desktopinfo in the user model and <%= #user.rendered_desktopinfo %> on the page that shows the text, I get this: <h1>this is a h1</h1> on the text when I enter
this is a h1
============
so I am halfway there! How do I now turn this code into html?

Consider rdiscount which substitutes for bluecloth but is faster and better maintained.
Ryan Tomayko's comparison is a good write up regarding the different libraries for using markdown in Ruby.

You haven't really specified exactly what you are after, but I use bluecloth when working with markdown. You can add 'bluecloth' to your Gemfile.
To parse your markdown it is as simple as:
<%= raw BlueCloth.new(YOUR_MARKDOWN).to_html %>
You need the keyword raw. so the HTML is not escaped.
<%= raw #user.rendered_desktopinfo %>
