I'd like to take a moment to introduce Rote, a static page rendering and
layout tool for Ruby, that simply provides an easy-to-use templating
solution for your static website, software documentation, blog, or
whatever.
Rote provides a convenient commandline build for your page-based projects,
and can be integrated directly into your own Rake builds for mixed projects
and documentation sets.
* Simple set-up based on page templates and sections.
* ERB, Textile, and Markdown supported out of the box (RedCloth).
* Multiple configurable layouts apply boilerplate to your pages.
* ‘Scoped’ Ruby code support allows fine-grained control of data
available across all documentation, a subset, or individual pages.
* Can be used standalone (from the command-line) or from within Rake as a
custom task library.
* Supports any (text-based) format, while providing utilities and helpers
for common formats (HTML at present).
I've been working on Rote for a little while, and have just gotten to a
point where I think a 0.1.0 release is justified. I'm especially interested
in any ideas for features or enhancements that would be useful.
So now theres no excuse for skipping out on the documentation
- come on
over and check it out at http://rote.rubyforge.org/ .
Thanks for your time!
(P.s. I'm still a relative Nuby, so I'd really appreciate any pointers or
suggestions on what I'm doing wrong and how I might fix it.)
