Amrita2 is a XML/HTML template library for Ruby. I released a new
version 1.9.6 as BETA1 for 2.0. Get it from
I reduced undocumented features and refactored much to prepare the
comming stable release. And …
- added gemspec and make it Rails plugin
- simplified the ERB processing feature
- new feature for setting two attributes (like class=‘odd’ and
class=‘even’) alternately
Now Amrita2 template can contain ERB source in it.
<table border='1'>
<tr><th>name</th><th>author</th></tr>
<tr id='languages'>
<td><![CDATA[
<a href='<%= $_.url %>'><%= $_.name %></a>
]]></td>
<td id='creator'></td>
</tr>
</table>
CDATA in element will be evaluated as many times as number of
‘languages’ data. And each item will be set to ‘$_’ before ERB
evaluating. See this page for detail.
How to use Amrita2 with Ruby On Rails
http://amrita2.rubyforge.org/Rails.html
And this method setup Template to insert two attributes alternately.
def languages_setup_template(template)
tmpl = Amrita2::TemplateText.new(template)
tmpl.use_erb(binding)
tmpl.element_option[:languages] = { :mv_attr=> { :class=>%w(odd
even)
} }
tmpl
end
This template produces output like this.
