\t\t\t\tAll of a sudden I knew, I would immediately need a template mechanism. During the last “Stuttgart.pm” meet-up Mason got mentioned, but I was already a little familiar with eRuby, so I gave it a try, and it was just the right thing to do. The XML file to handle got smaller and smaller and smaller \u2013 really, really nice to see.<\/p>\n
Update 2011-03-25:
\nA few days later I am really rather satisfied with this decision.
\nOf course: eRuby XML files are no longer clean XML, so they are not supported by any editing mode (apart from “text-mode”) in emacs, but then that’s not too terrible.<\/p>\n
Update 2011-04-20:
\nOf course (again) being able to deal with eRuby XML files as XML files within nxml-mode would be a charm. There are 2 obstacles to overcome:<\/p>\n
In order to interpolate ruby expressions into XML this syntax is used:<\/p>\n
\ny=””<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nbut nxml-mode does not accept that for a legal XML attribute value.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nLines starting with ‘%’ are for ruby code, nxml-mode should \/ may consider them as comments:<\/p>\n\n% y0 = 97<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
