Redcarpet & Middleman: :with_toc_data

Question

I'm wondering about using Redcarpet's :with_toc_data option for Markdown working with Middleman (a Sinatra-based static site generator).

Our current config.rb:

set :markdown, :layout_engine => :haml
set :markdown_engine, :redcarpet

This doesn't work:

set :markdown, :layout_engine => :haml, :with_toc_data => true
set :markdown_engine, :redcarpet

Any help is very appreciated!

Answer 1

Fixed in Middleman 3.0 by Thomas Reynolds: https://github.com/middleman/middleman/issues/442

Answer 2

It appears that from Issue #200 of Middleman at Github, this should be done as such:

set :markdown, :layout_engine => :haml
set :markdown_engine, :redcarpet
set :redcarpet, :with_toc_data => true

The third line being the key. I also can't make this work, so there might be something still open as a bug with Middleman?

The latest release is 2.0.15.3, which is what I have installed; but I also can't make it work. Perhaps Issue #200 should be re-opened?

I have this exact code in my config.rb:

###
# GitHib flavoured Markdown, I can't go back!
###
set :markdown_engine, :redcarpet
set :redcarpet, fenced_code_blocks: true, autolink: true

I'd be eager to understand if I am doing something incorrectly. (I'm specifically trying to use this in a Middleman Blog)

Update to my answer: The commit referenced in Issue #200 does not exist in the 2.0.15.3 release, thus we'll have to use something newer.
