Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ragefaces'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ragefaces

Usage

This method has not been tested with html - although it will only be a problem if your html has one of the 850ish markups in the form:

    /:[-\w]+:/g

I use this in conjunction with gemojifyjs which can break anchors and escape sequences:

ragefaces: (text) ->
    cache_anchors = text.match(/<a [^<]+<\/a>/g) or []
    for anchor in cache_anchors
      text = text.replace(anchor, '<a>')
    cache_escapes = text.match(/\&(#[0-9]+)|[a-zA-Z]+;/g) or []
    for escape in cache_escapes
      text = text.replace(escape, '<e>')
    text = ragefaces.markup(text)
    text = emojify.markup(text)
    for escape in cache_escapes
      text = text.replace('<e>', escape)
    for anchor in cache_anchors
      text = text.replace('<a>', anchor)
    return text
}

If you are just marking up plain text then all you need is:

ragefaces.markup(text)
