Yes. And erb is the same. you can write things like this in a template
<table> <% somearray.each do |item| %>   ## <% erb start  <%# comment
<tr> <td> <%=item %> </td> </tr>   <%= dump resulting expression into html
<% end> </table>

I only remember for erb that you can set it up like
      res = ERbLight.new( erbfile.read ).result binding
in your code. And then all variables that are accessible at that line, 
will be accessible in the html. (The "binding" is passed)
ERuby I don't know.
