What do you mean? Embedding ruby code in HTML like Javascript? That is
not possible. Or do you mean something else?

Situations:

1) html file + ruby file on the server, and you want the request for the
html file to trigger the execution of the ruby file

2) The html file is displayed in the client browser, and you want some
action by the user to trigger the execution of a ruby file on the server

3) The html file is displayed in the client browser, and you want some
action by the user to trigger the execution of a ruby file located on
the client's computer.


You can do 1) with ruby, you can do 2) with javascript, but I don't
think you can do 3) with anything.

Eruby is a handy way of mixing html and Ruby. It's like PHP.
