Hi all I’m a ruby newbie and I’m trying to do something with templates using Amrita. I have a template which contains html with some … into it and Amrita doesn’t generate this chunk of html because it gets because there is no something data into the structure. Do you know if there is a way to jump over this problem? Do you think Amrita is not good enough and you can tell me something better? Thanks in advance Kind regards – Miquel (a.k.a.

It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure you can get Amrita to use something other than “id” as its anchor. It seems a bit silly to me to use “id” for two unconnected things. > Do you think Amrita is not good enough and you can tell me something better? Amrita’s fine. There are other options that will probably be faster or may appeal to you (in terms of the way they do things) but Amrita can get the job done elegantly. Cheers, Gavin ---

I’m not sure exactly what your problem is but the best place to ask an Amrita question would be on their mailing list which you can subscribe to from here [http://amrita2.rubyforge.org/](http://amrita2.rubyforge.org/) You would have the most knowlegable Amrita folks to discuss things with there. > Do you think Amrita is not good enough and you can tell me something > better? Amrita and Amrita2 is a fine project. The main developer, Taku Nakajima is, a dedicated person. So if the project meets your needs then it should be a solid choice. If you want to look at some additional templating projects that might also work for you, check out MasterView Template Engine [http://masterview.org/](http://masterview.org/) ht [http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview](http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview)tp://rubyforge.org/projects/mas[http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview](http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview) terview [http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview](http://rubyforge.org/projects/masterview) (This is the project that Deb Lewis and I are developing) It has some slightly different goals and features. There are some videos and screenshots on the site to explain. We have several mailing lists as well, so you can post to our masterview-users mailing list if you have additional questions.
