Added to Reservations/development branch on 2012.07.16 by @dgoerger in order to enable markdown syntax in equipment model descriptions, reservation notes, and TOS.

Where / How we use it

markdown("text")

Files edited

• Gemfile => gem 'redcarpet'
• application_helper.rb => define markdown(text)
• terms_of_service/index, reservations/_reservation_details, equipment_model/show, all the receipts => call markdown

Things to watch out for

• the gem docs are not wholly updated for Redcarpet v2.0+; check out syntax in the Railscast comment linked above (Railscast #272 is out of date, by the way, and not compatible with v2.0+).
