Jgarber RedCloth

I've been playing around with custom tags to generate simple forms. The gist is here (but note it's in progress).

My current approach is quite hacky in that it re-parses content for the form tag, more or less doing this:

    module SimpleFormHTML
      include RedCloth::Formatters::HTML

      def form(opts)
        content = RedCloth.new(opts[:text]).to(SimpleFormHTML)
        "<form>#{content}</form>"
      end

      ... methods for inputs ...
    end

An inconvenience of this approach is that it doesn't appear possible to compose markup that has miscellaneous stuff in the form. Things like this can work:

    form. post /action
    input. Label [key=value]
    button. Submit

But things like this can't (the list signals the end of the form content and ends up fragmenting the output):

    form. post /action
    input. Label [key=value]

    * why a list?
    * I don't know.

    button. Submit

Nesting markup in with tags like dl is possible with the ':= =:' delimiters. For example:

    - A := a
    - B :=
    * ok, this list
    * is fully in the dl
    =:
    - C := c

Can there be something added (or is there something I'm missing) that can grant me the ability to parse delimited content in a custom tag extensions?
