Warning:

You probably should make your life easier and use standard templates your framework provides. This is too hard for you (and me).

Dot_Why

My own personal way of doing templates.

Install:

This is not worthy to be listed in gem repos, so you have to install manually:

gem install dot_why

# === For rbenv users: ===
rbenv rehash
# ========================

cd /my_templates/whatever
dot_why Diet_Dot ./my_layout ./my_template

Note:

The layout and template files should have a .rb extension.

Support

You are on your own. I barely have time to add all the features I want.

Template Guide

section :sym do ... end: Add something to a section. Can be used multiple times. It accumulates the content in the block.
partial "path/to/file": Reads the file (File.read) and evals it.
partial "path/to/file/or/dir", "sub/path/to/file: Uses the first argument as the starting point to find the template. The first argument can be a file (e.g. FILE) or dir. If it is a file, it will use the dir of the path (File.dirname).
