Are you aware that you can set ERuby (and ERb, the little brother  
library included standard with Ruby) to treat any line beginning with  
a simple % as code?

Example:

% npcs.each do |thug|
     The thug's name is:  <%= thug.name %>
% end

Just wanted to point that out.  It's covered in the documentation for  
the library, if you want to learn more.
