I entered RAA Ruby HTML/Template. at first, I want to port Perl module, HTML::Template as it was. however it was not suited for Ruby style. e.g. In Perl world empty character sequence and 0 are treated as false, but Ruby, they are treated as true. so, I did not support built-in IF-ELSE and LOOP. they are treated as a simple BLOCK. http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=HTML%2FTemplate please see the example code. (sorry, including Japanese) I thought it was more suited for Ruby style. anyone has better idea to HTML::Template like library?
