Subject: Re: Write webpages in Ruby without Rails? - Newb Question

I would recommend the "serve" gem

http://wiseheartdesign.com/2007/9/25/introducing-serve/

It makes it simple to code and serve webpages with ruby.

But there are lots of options for generating HTML code using ruby,
check rubyforge.org for gems like "markaby" or "xx".

You can serve page with Mongrel like this:

require 'rubygems'
gem 'mongrel'
require 'mongrel'

HOST = '0.0.0.0'
PORT = 999

config = Mongrel::Configurator.new :host => HOST, :port => PORT do
  listener do
    uri "/", :handler => Mongrel::DirHandler.new(Dir.pwd)
  end

  trap("INT") { stop }
  run
end

puts "Mongrel running on #{HOST}:#{PORT} with docroot #{Dir.pwd}"
config.join
