Just some clarifications about my question: I'm a Ruby newbie, but have quite a lot of Java/C/C++/Objective-C experience, so it's not the templating concept that I'm unsure about but the HOW of using templates in Ruby. I've written a ruby fcgi website dispatcher that performs all kinds of extra "behind the scenes" processing, but at the moment I only use ERB in a token fashion. Combining multiple legal HTML files into a single page is where I could do with some pointers. As far as I can see ERB can't do this.. I have come across some references to Nitro, which does seem to have a pretty decent templating engine, but I don't want to pull a whole MVC framework (not to mention Og).. I'm basically looking for a standalone templating solution. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
