I’d like to take a moment to introduce Rote, a static page rendering and
layout tool for Ruby, that simply provides an easy-to-use templating
solution for your static website, software documentation, blog, or
whatever.
Rote provides a convenient commandline build for your page-based
projects,
and can be integrated directly into your own Rake builds for mixed
projects
and documentation sets.
- Simple set-up based on page templates and sections.
- ERB, Textile, and Markdown supported out of the box (RedCloth).
- Multiple configurable layouts apply boilerplate to your pages.
- â??Scopedâ?? Ruby code support allows fine-grained control of data
available across all documentation, a subset, or individual pages. - Can be used standalone (from the command-line) or from within Rake
as a
custom task library. - Supports any (text-based) format, while providing utilities and
helpers
for common formats (HTML at present).
I’ve been working on Rote for a little while, and have just gotten to a
point where I think a 0.1.0 release is justified. I’m especially
interested
in any ideas for features or enhancements that would be useful.
So now theres no excuse for skipping out on the documentation 
- come
on
over and check it out at http://rote.rubyforge.org/ .
Thanks for your time!
(P.s. I’m still a relative Nuby, so I’d really appreciate any pointers
or
suggestions on what I’m doing wrong and how I might fix it. :))
