Hi,
I would like to generate rss or any xml in one of the actions and
ofcourse display it. I have a big problem to get
it working. API says that if I construct
xml= Builder::XmlMarkup.new
xml.em("emphasized")
the xml object should be available in .rxml template. But in API i
haven''t found info about how
should i use this xml object. If i delete rxml template i get missing
template error when i leve template empty I get
output consists of word :) "nil" - have no idea what is nil. When i
use
<%=xml%> or <%xml%> or <%=@xml%> or <%@xml%> (for the
last two I have
create @xml object inside action ), paser complains about xml object or
something.
Object xml has is beeing created ok
(<em>emphasized</em><to_s/>) but
then i have no Idea how should i display it !
By the way why API says xml object is avaiable in template. Why musn''t
it be @xml.
Anyway I definetly missed something and need your help :)

When it does so, Action Pack will automatically pick up that it should make xml available as a local (not instance) variable. Have a look at the example on http://ap.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Base.html. Basically, just copy''n''paste that code snippet into your own .rxml file and replace the values. That''s what I do when I need a new RSS script ;) -- David Heinemeier Hansson, http://www.basecamphq.com/ -- Web-based Project Management http://www.rubyonrails.org/ -- Web-application framework for Ruby http://macromates.com/ -- TextMate: Code and markup editor (OS X) http://www.loudthinking.com/ -- Broadcasting Brain
