This Week in Rails: Action Text's Markdown pipeline gets a security fix this week: URI scheme validation added to `markdown_link` so schemes like `data:text/html` are now blocked and rendered as escaped text instead of live links or images. Plus: async query instrumentation bug fixed, faster generated Dockerfiles, and a SQLite virtual table schema fix. Read about this week's highlights in the newsletter: rubyonrails.org/2026/3/13/this…

Ruby on Rails scales from PROMPT to IPO. Token-efficient code that's easy for agents to write, and still beautiful for humans to review. rubyonrails.org

This Week in Rails is out, and in one of the most notable changes, Action Text now exports rich text as Markdown. `RichText`, `Content`, `Fragment`, and `Attachment` all get a `to_markdown` method, mirroring the existing `to_plain_text`. It handles inline formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough, code), headings, blockquotes, lists, tables, links, code blocks, and more. It also benchmarks ~35% faster than `to_plain_text` - a great option for anyone sending Rails rich text to LLMs or Markdown-based pipelines. Plus: `MissingAttachable` now renders consistently in plain text too, custom content types for HTTP auth challenges, and "open in editor" links fixed for devcontainers & Docker.
