Does Ruby/Slim have support for markdown?

Question

I cant get markdown to work with Slim (Rails 3.1 app), I get this error:

Unknown line indicator
   :markdown

I have the following gems in my Gemfile:

gem 'bluecloth'
gem 'rdiscount'
gem 'slim'

This is how my template looks like:

:markdown
  #hello

Answer 1

Yes. Slim supports Markdown. You need to put markdown: before you use markdown code in your templates.

Example:

markdown:
  #Header
    Hello from #{"Markdown!"}
    Second Line!
