You probably should make your life easier and use standard templates your framework provides. This is too hard for you (and me).
My own personal way of doing templates.
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
The layout and template files should have a .rb extension.
You are on your own. I barely have time to add all the features I want.
-
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).
