Tag Formatter

Tag Formatter (for a lack of a better name) is—of course—a basic templating system that takes in text input with "tags", and replaces those tags with text as defined by the programmer.

gem install tag_formatter

git clone git://github.com/mseymour/tag_formatter.git
cd tag_formatter/
gem build tag_formatter.gemspec
gem install tag_formatter-0.0.3.gem

Valid option symbols for configuring an instance of TagFormatter:

• tags (Hash)
• tag_start (String)
• tag_end (String)
• inline_comment_delimiter (String)
• block_comment_start (String)
• block_comment_end (String)

Formatting a block of text using the default options:

text = <<-HEREDOC
Hello, I am {firstname} {lastname}.
I like {something}. #Something can be anything.
/*I do not know about you,
but block comments are pretty rad.*/
HEREDOC

tf = TagFormatter.new text, tags: {firstname: "Mark", lastname: "Seymour", something: "listening to music"}

puts tf.parse #=> Hello, I am Mark Seymour.\nI like listening to music.

Formatting a block of text using user-supplied options:

tf = TagFormatter.new "I like to %verb% it, %verb% it!", tags: {verb: "move"}, tag_start: '%', tag_end: '%'
puts tf.parse #=> I like to move it, move it!

Any and all issues should be reported via the Issues tab in Github.

Fixes, additions, patches, etc. are greatly welcome.
