[ANN] XML in Ruby - Templating Engine

< ^ > P N |<>|^_>< --- | ~ ...J Help
Hi,

While everyone embeds Ruby into HTML code nowadays, I thought why not
do it the other way round? Vim syntax highlighting included :)

Uh, and it's soo simple, and you get a lot of goodies for free (for 
example you can split your templates into methods, or inherit from other
template classes etc.).

XML in Ruby - Templating Engine

ABOUT

   "XML in Ruby" is a simple templating engine that allows you to embed
   XML directly into Ruby.

EXAMPLE

   See sample.rbx.

       class MyView < View
         def index(title)
           <html>
             <head>
               <title>${title}</title>
             </head>
             <body>
               render_body
             </body>
           </html>
         end

         def render_body
           output "Hello World"
         end
       end

       puts MyView.render(:index, "Test")

   To start:

       ruby -r view -e "View.require 'sample.rbx'"

   Output:

       <html>
       <head>
       <title>Test</title>
       </head>
       <body>
       Hello World</body>
       </html>

   You can mix XML and Ruby. Everything that starts with "<" as
   fist non-whitespace character on a line is considered as XML.
   You can also use:

       <: This is text

   to output the text " This is text", or require other
   "templates" with:

       View.require 'another_template.rbx'

   In XML you can embed Ruby code with #{...} and ${...}. The second
   performs escaping.
