Hey All. Trying to use jamis buck’s template for rdoc (  
[http://svn.jamisbuck.org/rdoc-templates/jamis.rb](http://svn.jamisbuck.org/rdoc-templates/jamis.rb) ).

Rdoc runs fine with no errors when I try to use the standard “html”  
template. However if I use jamis.rb it says:

…  
Generating HTML…  
rake aborted!  
unknown tag: sections  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rdoc/template.rb:183:in  
`substitute_into' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rdoc/template.rb:146:in `write\_html\_on’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rdoc/generators/html\_generator.rb:763:in  
`write_on' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rdoc/generators/html_generator.rb:1170:in `gen\_into’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rdoc/generators/html\_generator.rb:1170:in  
`gen\_into’  
… # more

I’ve poked around at the code for a while and wasn’t able to figure it  
out. Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas on how to fix it?

I figured out my problem. I had an older version of rdoc. Once I  
upgraded to ruby 1.8.5 this issue was resolved.
