14:59 <tom[]> i've been reading about combining and compressing js and css in nanoc. various people have their approach online. would anyone here like to express a preference?

18:08 <ddfreyne> tom[]: yuicompressor is good, but I alos use rainpress for css

18:09 <tom[]> i was just about to write an update

18:09 <tom[]> the compressors filters are easy enough to use. it was the combining + compressing i was having trouble wit

18:09 <tom[]> h

18:10 <tom[]> after reading various things i came up with my own approach that seems nice and simple to me

18:11 <tom[]> i wrote a master js fine and a mater css file and run them through erb with things like this in them:

18:11 <tom[]> <%= @items['/assets/sass/styles/'].compiled_content() %>

18:11 <tom[]> and then nil routed the sources

18:22 <ddfreyne> tom[]: combining is a bit harder. You need to create a "combined" css file in the preprocess block that reads the content from all sub-CSS files and then make sure the sub-CSS files are not routed (not written to output)

21:53 <tom[]> filter :redcarpet, :options => {:fenced_code => true}

21:53 <tom[]> converts md to html but doesn't convert the fenced code blocks

21:54 <tom[]> what might i be doing wrong. the instaled redcarpet version is .rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/redcarpet-3.0.0

22:39 <ddfreyne> tom[]: It needs to be fenced_code_blocks

22:39 <ddfreyne> not fenced_code

22:41 <tom[]> still no joy

22:41 <tom[]> the line is filter :redcarpet, :options => {:fenced_code_blocks => true}

22:42 <tom[]> the result is an inline code element like with `simple backticks`

22:59 <ddfreyne> tom[]: what does your source look like?

22:59 <ddfreyne> like, the page source?

23:00 <tom[]> http://pastebin.com/UxJbdeEF

23:01 <tom[]> that's one example. i've tried tildas

23:01 <tom[]> and a space between ``` and html

23:13 <ddfreyne> tom[]: Does it work when invoking RedCarpet directly, in irb, bypassing nanoc?

23:13 <ddfreyne> tom[]: too tired to properly help atm I'm afraid :(

23:13 <tom[]> i'll try later

23:13 <tom[]> thanks

23:13 <ddfreyne> the nanoc redcarpet filter is fairly straightforward and just passes options on

23:14 <ddfreyne> https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/blob/master/lib/nanoc/filters/redcarpet.rb

23:14 <ddfreyne> a bit ugly becaue it supports both 1.x and 2.x

23:14 <ddfreyne> tom[]: try with :renderer_options instead of :options

23:15 <ddfreyne> AFK, sleep!

23:16 <tom[]> :(

23:16 <tom[]> with filter :redcarpet, :renderer_options => {:fenced_code_blocks => true} the fenced code block is rendered as plain paragraph text
