Glue Blog

The formatting of text with Glue is always a lengthy discussion around the office at Squad. The major aspect we all agree on is that it should be simple as possible. We have a plan for formatting in next version of Glue, but for now I’d like to create a simple guide just including the basics.

In the following examples, I will be using a quote from James Bond, Tomorrow Never Dies.

We use a modified version of RedCloth, which can be found here: http://redcloth.org/
