Markaby is a small Ruby library for writing HTML code in pure Ruby. It is an alternative to templating languages such as ERb and HAML which combine Ruby code with some form of markup. It was developed by the computer programmer "why the lucky stiff" and its name comes from Markup as Ruby.

Usage

[edit]
require 'markaby'  mab = Markaby::Builder.new mab.html do   head { title "Boats.com" }   body do     h1 "Boats.com has great deals"     ul do       li "$49 for a canoe"       li "$39 for a raft"       li "$29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people"     end   end end puts mab.to_s 

Executing the above code will render the following HTML:

<html>   <head>     <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>     <title>     Boats.com</title>   </head>   <body>     <h1>     Boats.com has great deals</h1>     <ul>       <li>       $49 for a canoe</li>       <li>       $39 for a raft</li>       <li>       $29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people</li>     </ul>   </body> </html>

[edit]

Markaby is the templating engine used for the Camping micro web framework.

 module HomePage::Views     # If you have a `layout' method like this, it    # will wrap the HTML in the other methods.  The    # `self << yield' is where the HTML is inserted.    def layout      html do        title { 'My HomePage' }        body { self << yield }      end    end     # The `index' view.  Inside your views, you express    # the HTML in Ruby.  See http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/markaby/.    def index      p 'Hi my name is Charles.'      p 'Here are some links:'      ul do       li { a 'Google', :href => 'http://google.com/' }       li { a 'A sample page', :href => '/sample' }      end    end     # The `sample' view.    def sample      p 'A sample page'    end  end
