I have map.resources :posts
and I want to be able to serve post bodies in markdown format. So I set up my respond_to
block:
respond_to do |format|
format.markdown {
render :text => @post.body.to_s
}
end
But when I try to access /posts/1234.markdown
, I get this error:
NameError (uninitialized constant Mime::MARKDOWN):
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:96:in `show'
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:79:in `show'
How do I add markdown as an acceptable format? Where can I see the list of acceptable formats?
