If you want to use the redcarpet Markdown engine instead then first install it.
gem install redcarpet
Then update your _config.yml
file to have the following lines
markdown: redcarpet
To get Github-esque features (such as tables etc) enable the following extension in your _config.yml
file
redcarpet:
extensions: ["no_intra_emphasis", "fenced_code_blocks", "autolink", "tables", "strikethrough", "superscript", "with_toc_data"]
In case you get dependency errors for redcarpet after installing it. Try removing all the data from your projects Gemfile
and replacing it with
source 'https://rubygems.org'
group :jekyll_plugins do
gem "redcarpet"
end
