I have backed up a bunch of markdown formatted comments into an XML document. This of course meant I needed to HTMLescape them. When I try to use CGI.unescapeHTML it adds a bunch of strange characters into the markup that do not render well in all browsers. Specifically, it replaces two spaces with "\302\240 ", but not consistently. ...

Having been spoiled by ruby for so long, I now find myself having to do some Java development (Eclipse RCP). I'm wondering if anyone knows of alternatives to HashMap & ArrayList that have some of the sugar of ruby. The verbosity of dealing with an ArrayList of HashMaps drives me bonkers. I'm also interested in finding other Ruby langua...
It appears that using ActiveRecord (which requires ActiveSupport) messes with the Logger class, resulting in difficulties. This can be seen with some example code: require 'rubygems' #require 'activerecord' require 'logger' log = Logger.new(STDERR) log.sev_threshold = Logger::INFO log.datetime_format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" log.debug "...
