In my show.xml.builder I have following code.

xml.events {

\<% @events.each do |event| %\>  
xml.event event.name  
xml.id event.id  
\<% end %\>  
}

But the above code doesn’t work. Anyone knows how to incorporate looping  
in .xml.builder file.

Thanks

builder isn’t erb: there are no \<% or \<%=

xml.events {  
@events.each do |event|  
xml.event event.name  
xml.id event.id  
end  
}  
should work (although i suspect that’s not the output you wanted.
