Hey hi,  
I am newbee in ruby language. We are making our college’s website  
in ruby.  
We have decided to provide a personalised web page for users i.e.  
college students. Can we make it in ruby or it will come under html or  
similar view language?  
Pls come up with ur thoughts on this.

Thanks,  
pretct

Our current project at work uses Lilu to render custom HTML. You could  
allow  
your users to enter an “edit mode” where they can change their HTML.  
Lilu  
will populate tags with specific classes with data, such as your  
students  
grades.

You can also use Lilu, and its underlying Hpricot layer, to prune out  
any  
shenanigans, such as tags, that your students (raised on  
MySpace)  
might think to slip in…
