Amrita2 is a XML/HTML template library for Ruby.  I released a new
version 1.9.6 as BETA1 for 2.0. Get it from

 http://amrita2.rubyforge.org/

I reduced undocumented features and refactored much to prepare the
comming stable release. And ..

* added gemspec and make it Rails plugin
* simplified the ERB processing feature
* new feature for setting two attributes (like class=3D'odd' and
 class=3D'even') alternately

Now Amrita2 template can contain ERB source in it.

       <table border=3D'1'>
         <tr><th>name</th><th>author</th></tr>
         <tr id=3D'languages'>
           <td><![CDATA[
              <a href=3D'<%=3D $_.url %>'><%=3D $_.name %></a>
           ]]></td>
           <td id=3D'creator'></td>
         </tr>
       </table>

CDATA in <td> element will be evaluated as many times as number of
'languages' data. And each item will be set to '$_' before ERB
evaluating. See this page for detail.

 How to use Amrita2 with Ruby On Rails
 http://amrita2.rubyforge.org/Rails.html

And this method setup Template to insert two attributes alternately.

 def languages_setup_template(template)
   tmpl =3D Amrita2::TemplateText.new(template)
   tmpl.use_erb(binding)
   tmpl.element_option[:languages] =3D  { :mv_attr=3D> { :class=3D>%w(odd e=
ven)
} }
   tmpl
 end

This template produces output like this.

<table border=3D'1'>
 <tr><th>name</th><th>author</th></tr>
 <tr class=3D'odd'>
   <td><a href=3D'http://www.ruby-lang.org/' <http://www.ruby-lang.org/%27>
>Ruby</a></td>
   <td>matz</td>
 </tr><tr class=3D'even'>
   <td><a href=3D'http://www.perl.com/' <http://www.perl.com/%27>
>perl</a></td>
   <td>Larry Wall</td>
 </tr><tr class=3D'odd'>
   <td><a href=3D'http://www.python.org/' <http://www.python.org/%27>
>python</a></td>
   <td>Guido van Rossum</td>
 </tr>
</table>
