Rails - Jan 2006 - Markaby (Markup as Ruby) plugin

With the help of Tim Fletcher, I''m glad to present a new plugin for 
writing HTML templates in plain Ruby.  You write .mab templates in 
app/views/ which contain Builder-like representations of HTML.

As an illustration, here is the scaffold edit.rhtml remade as Markaby:

  h1 ''Editing product''

  start_form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @product
    render :partial => ''form''
    submit_tag ''Edit''
  end_form_tag

  link_to ''Show'', :action => ''show'', :id
=> @product
  text " | "
  link_to ''Back'', :action => ''list''

To install in your Rails app:

  script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk

Many more examples and caveats can be looked over at the announcement:
