Markaby/Xmlbuilder error - XmlMarkup cannot mix a text argument with a block

[Farrel Lifson]

Hi folks,

I'm not sure if I'm grokking how to use Markaby correctly. I'm trying
to render some external Markaby code as follows but get the
ArgumentError at the end:html do
h1 "Header" do
p "Paragraph"
end
end
EOS
=> "html do\n h1 \"Header\" do\n p \"Paragraph\"\n end\nend\n"ArgumentError: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/builder-2.0.0/lib/builder/xmlbase.rb:53:in
`method_missing': XmlMarkup cannot mix a text argument with a block

What would be the correct way to render the given Markaby code
fragment? The error is bubbling up from XmlBuilder

I would have done like this:

mab = Markaby::Builder.new
mab.instance_eval template
mab.to_s

 

[why the lucky stiff]

html do
h1 "Header" do
p "Paragraph"
end
end
EOS
=> "html do\n h1 \"Header\" do\n p \"Paragraph\"\n end\nend\n"
ArgumentError:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/builder-2.0.0/lib/builder/xmlbase.rb:53:in
`method_missing': XmlMarkup cannot mix a text argument with a block

The error is in the template.

h1 "Header" do; ... end

That's invalid.

Try:

html do
h1 "Header"
p "Paragraph"
end

Or, if the paragraph does really belong in the header:

html do
h1 { "Header" + p("Paragraph") }
end

The last one requires Markaby 0.4.65 or greater[1]. May good fortune swirl
around in your Thermos forevermore.

[1] gem install markaby --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

I would have done like this:

mab = Markaby::Builder.new
mab.instance_eval template
mab.to_s

That produces the same error (In digging around in the code it
Markaby::Template does that in the render method)

The error is in the template.

h1 "Header" do; ... end

That's invalid.

Try:

html do
h1 "Header"
p "Paragraph"
end

Gah! Thanks why! I knew it was something stupid...
