Merb devel - Sep 2007 - Xml templates...

I was looking in using an xml_builder template to do something like:

blee.xerb

xml.blees do
  <% for blee in @blees %>
     xml.blee = blee.name
  <% end %>
end

It looks like the xml_builder template can''t expand the erb tag.

It this not the correct way to expand and xml template ?

Thanks !

Try

xml.blees do
   @blees.each do |blee|
     xml.blee(blee.name)
   end
end

That''s not xml_builder format, that''s erb format.

I think someone else came across the same issue, see
http://merb.devjavu.com/projects/merb/ticket/162

Thanks Brian - Well erb sure but I still would like to get the xml builder
object
bound to the template. That''s the essence of my question ie being able
to
embed
erb tag within my xml template.

I think you need to choose one or the other.

(1) Do you want to write your template in XmlBuilder style?

In that case, you can''t embed <% .. %>. However you
don''t need to, as a
builder template is just Ruby code. If you want to write "for blee in
@blees" you just write that; there''s no need to encode it in
Erb-style tags.

http://builder.rubyforge.org/

(2) Do you want to write your template in Erb style? In that case the
template would look something like

<blees>
  <% for blee in @blees %>
  <blee>
    <%=h blee.name %>
  </blee>
</blees>

However if you do this, and your template is called blees.erb, then until
recently Merb would send it as text/html rather than text/xml. That''s
what
ticket 162 is about.

Brian.
