Erb rdoc wrong?

Ruby
1

Greetings.

I am trying to use Erb to process a plain-text template. Following the
RDoc
documentation at
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/erb/rdoc/classes/ERB.html, I can’t
get
the first plain-text example to work. ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)
[i686-linux]. Below[1] is the actual sample script which isn’t working
(it’s not finding the local variables when processing the template).
Any
ideas what’s going on here? Thanks.

require “erb”

Create template.

template = %q{

Just wanted to send a quick note assuring that your needs are being

I want you to know that my team will keep working on the issues,
especially:

<%# ignore numerous minor requests -- focus on priorities %>
% priorities.each do |priority|
  * <%= priority %>
% end

Thanks for your patience.

}.gsub(/^ /, ‘’)

message = ERB.new(template, 0, “%<>”)

Set up template data.

to = “Community Spokesman <spokesman@ruby_community.org>”
priorities = [ “Run Ruby Q.”,
“Document Modules”,
“Answer Questions on Ruby T.” ]

Produce result.

email = message.result
puts email

Hmm, has ERB stopped defaulting to a top-level binding?

email = message.result

Change that to:

email = message.result(binding)

Can someone please patch the docs for me?
