How to use Kramdown in GitLab

Question

I haven't found the instruction how to change GitLab's RedCarpet to Kramdown. on Kramdown I have found how to install it:

sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo gem install kramdown

But the Usage page was absolutly non-understandable for me

require 'kramdown'
puts Kramdown::Document.new(text).to_html

What is language? Where I have to write it?

The language is [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/). You just installed it via `apt-get`. But I'm not sure where that code needs to go… — ChrisGPT was on strike, Aug 29 '16 at 03:04
I’m voting to close this question because it's no longer applicable, see @David Planella's answer. — SteeveDroz, Sep 02 '21 at 09:52

For those landing on this old question, GitLab migrated from RedCarpet to Kramdown as its Markdown engine with the 11.5 release (2018-11-22). Enjoy! ;-)
