	If you really can't stand the <% syntax then download and install  
the erubis gem. It  is an Erb clone that behaves the same way ecept  
it has many more features and is 3 times faster then Erb. It also  
allows you to set the template delimiters to whatever you want. So if  
you were totally off your rocker you could even do this:

<?php  [:foo, :bar, :baz].each do |sym| ?>
   <?= sym ?>
<?php end ?>
