Talk:Ruby Document format

Is embedded/inline HTML really supported by RDtool or RDoc?
We looked at the RD spec (https://github.com/uwabami/rdtool/blob/master/doc/rd-draft.rd) and could NOT find any feature for embedded HTML inside a RD doc.

We then decided to take the sample code shown in the article (§ "Sample RD document") and tested outputting against BOTH the legacy RDTool (trying ALL html format libraries in the '-r' parameter) and the RDoc.

BOTH gave output with the embedded HTML ("=begin html"…"=end") block omitted. This makes us believe that the embedding of HTML is not there in RD, at least as of the latest version and final version of RDtool (0.6.38) and the current RDoc (6.5.0) as of the time of this writing.

Someone please confirm and fix if necessary.

For me this was a very important feature and the claimed existence of this feature was quite misleading for me :S. 196.128.14.123 (talk) 12:58, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
