And now, after I reread the relevant page in the PickAxe book (specifically, the page mentioning ) % line of code with the description that "A line that starts with a percent is assumed to contain just Ruby Code" It turns out that vim autoformat my file by adding some additional tabs and so the original code block had tabs before % 5.times do |i| which I believe caused erb to skip it, thereby giving rise to the undefined local variable error message. Hmm... which means that it's much safer to just use the <% Ruby Code %> form from now on :) -- Three minutes' thought would suffice to find this out; but thought is irksome and three minutes is a long time. ��--�A.E.�Houseman
