Here Document format in Views

Rails
1

I was wondering how I could use the Here document format in a view.

Say something like this:

<% @to_header = <<EOF
…
EOF %>

But that does not work, giving me a syntax error. Any help on this
would be great!

The terminating string is sensitive to trailing whitespace. Try:

<% @to_header = <<EOF
…
EOF
%>

And make sure you have no spaces or tabs after the EOF
