Does the current 'rdiscount' gem support html5 tags?

[shameerc]

It seems current rdiscount gem doesn't support html5 tags. Is there any other options to customize it? Now I am using 'redcarpet' for markdown.

RDiscount still have some problms with HTML5: https://github.com/rtomayko/rdiscount/issues/21 Anyway, personally I prefer redcarpet - it provides more interersting things like:

``` ruby
# github flavoured markup
```

I think we should be using redcarpet instead of RDiscount. :)

So do I :))

I have made some updates, changed to redcarpet, added categories and tagcloud methods in core. If you dont mind, could you please take a look into it? (I am a ruby newbie and learning it on the fly :)
