Discussion on: Gzip a file in Ruby

[Meghan (she/her)]

Great article! Also wanted to point out that in Markdown if you put the language after the ''' then you get cool syntax highlighting. So,

'''ruby
require "zlib"

def compress_file(file_name)
  zipped = "#{file_name}.gz"

  Zlib::GzipWriter.open(zipped) do |gz|
    gz.write IO.binread(file_name)
  end
end
'''

becomes

require "zlib"

def compress_file(file_name)
  zipped = "#{file_name}.gz"

  Zlib::GzipWriter.open(zipped) do |gz|
    gz.write IO.binread(file_name)
  end
end

Thanks Sean! I actually had done that when I wrote the markdown for the article on my own site but RSS->dev.to integration loses that again.

I've updated now and the article is looking resplendent in it's syntax highlighting.
