Rails - Jun 2006 - ERb question with xml

In the rdoc there's an example:

xml.em { xml.b("emp & bold") }

Which produces:

<em><b>emph &amp; bold</b></em>

But what if I wanted to nest tags with text, i.e.:

<em>just emph and <b>emph &amp; bold</b></em>

?

I've messed around with it and have only gotten bizzare results or 
nothing displayed at all - any help appreciated - thanks

are you really making xml? or just abusing it to make HTML. if its the latter,
try markaby:

em do
   text "just emph and"
   b "emph & bold"
end

Yea I'm really making XML - it's actually docbook so I want to able to 
do something like:

<para>
 Some text and then an inline <quote>word</quote> that appears in 
quotes.
</para>

answer:

 xml.em {
  xml.text! "just emph and"; xml.b("emp & bold");
 }


and

 xml.para {
xml.text! "Some text and then an inline";
xml.quote("word"); xml.text!
"appears in quotes."
 }
