BlueCloth isn't working with Rails 3
Is BlueCloth compatible with Rails 3? I can't make it work, maybe someone uses it?
There is supposed to be a helper called 'markdown' available in the views after requiring 'bluecloth', but this doesn't seem to be available.

Redcarpet/Bluecloth not allowing headers?
Is there a way to use either Redcarpet or Bluecloth such that when it interpolates the markdown it won't make any headers?
For example:
#header 1
yields:
header 1
header 1 (preferred)
And:
##header 2
yields:
header 2
header 2 (preferred)

is bluecloth 2 a drop-in replacement for BlueCloth 1?
Is bluecloth 2 a drop-in replacement for BlueCloth 1? We have a rails 2.3 app at the moment which uses the BlueCloth 1 gem; if we change our config to use the newer one, will we need to do anything else, or is that sufficient?
