Maruku is a Markdown interpreter written in Ruby.
The official repository has moved to GitHub: http://github.com/nex3/maruku
The last GEM release is version 0.6.0 – 2009-05-04.
Authors: Maruku was started by Andrea Censi. The current maintaner is is Nathan Weizenbaum. Many other people contributed patches; a partial list is in the AUTHORS file in the source distribution.
The name of the game: Maruku is the romaji transliteration of the katakana transliteration of “Mark”, the first word in Markdown. I chose this name because Ruby is Japanese, and also the syllable “ru” appears in Maruku.
