Rails - Sep 2006 - Putting : in Builder Views

Howdy,

I am trying to add some of Apple''s custom iTunes podcasting extensions
to a
Rails generated feed and I have a builder question.

ITunes has attributes that look like this:

<itunes:author>

Well, the builder code:

xml.itunes:author "Test"

Of course doesn''t work since it doesn''t like the colon.

How can I get this to work? I haven''t had a lot of luck with the
builder
doco so any help is appreciated very much.

Cheers,
Hunter

First, Xml builder is a part of ActiveSupport library. You can find some 
documentation in RDocs.

Then, it has method "tag!" that recieves a tag name as first argument:
    xml.tag! "itunes:author", "Test"

And at last, builder has a nice patch, that allows to treat tag name 
(the method that you call on "xml" object) as a namespace if first 
argument is a symbol (which will become a tag name):
    xml.itunes :author, "Test"
