XML builder

Rails
1

I am using the XML builder and I am frustrated by the lack of being
able to use variables to define the names of XML elements

I want to be able to do this (in actionname.xml.builder)
…
element_name = “Tag”
xml.element_name(“Brandon”)
…

ACTUAL OUTPUT
…
<element_name>Brandon</element_name>
…

DESIRED OUTPUT
…
Brandon
…

Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired output using only the
xml builder?

try

xml.instruct!
xml.data do
xml.tag “Brandon”
end

Brandon

Try using “send” to send the element name. So

xml.send(element_name) “Brandon”
