Prawn Version to use - HTML formatting

[Walter]

I'm using the prawn gem and it's giving me version 0.8.4. I see
documentation and code available at github for version 0.10.2. Which
version should I use?

https://github.com/sandal/prawn
https://github.com/sandal/prawn/tree/0.10.2

I would like to use prawn/format for html formatting using
text:format_inline => true.

This documentation suggests it is available. But's not working with
version 0.8.4.
http://rubydoc.info/github/sandal/prawn/master/Prawn/Text:text

Any recommendations? I want to allow <b> and <i> and other formatting
to be mixed in within the text.

Note:

Is version 0.10.2 stable?

Hi Walter,

It's stable for me :) I mean I'm using that version in an application
and it works pretty fine for me. BTW, I've been using the HTML
formatting and it's working right.

Ah, I almost forgot: the "new" table API is great :) Thank you guys!

That document refers to prawn-format, which was available with the old
versions of Prawn (up to 0.8.4). That syntax will not work with newer
versions, where inline formatting has been rewritten.

0.8.4 is still the latest officially stable version, but many have
found subsequent versions to be stable enough to work in production.
If you are OK with using non-"stable" releases, you could move to
0.10.2 or even track master. This will give you the latest features in
inline formatting.

That documentation is based on our master branch, which tracks current
development.
