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.renderindex, "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.
