Ruby/Redcarpet: strip markdown from text

Question

I'm writing a Ruby app and it currently uses redcarpet to render Markdown.

I need to strip Markdown markup from a text. Any easy way to do it?

Yes, it's possible with the Redcarpet::Render::StripDown Class -> https://rubydoc.info/gems/redcarpet/Redcarpet/Render/StripDown

It says "Turns Markdown into plaintext"

I ran into an `Uninitialized constant: Redcarpet::Render::StripDown` error, but adding `require 'redcarpet/render_strip'` fixed it; see https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet/issues/138 – GoBusto Jun 01 '19 at 15:13
