Guys, We''re embarking on a new dev project, and I''m curious....why would one choose markaby over erb? I for one am no fan of the erb syntax, but aside from that it''s similar to other technologies I''ve used in the past: PHP, JSP, ASP, etc. Why would one choose markaby over erb? What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? Is there anything remarkable

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

Last night, I upgraded one of my rails apps to 1.1. This app uses Markaby exclusively for its'' views, and once I checked out the latest revisiong of Markaby (r33), everything was working fine except for one thing: select_tag(''province_id'', options_from_collection_for_select(@provinces, "id", "name")) Now returns this (as you see it is spitting

Hi all, I am starting a new rails app with the Markaby plugin (had some issues installing, but think its working).

Hello! Does anyone know how I can check out the Markaby trunk?

Can someone explain the new Markaby syntax to me? I''m using Markaby as a Rails plugin, fetched from the trunk.

The ability to use Rails'' caching is very important to me. Is there any way at all to get Rails caching working with Markaby templates? Right now if I use cache tags, I get some "length" error.

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well.

I''m trying to use a partial from within Markaby. I haven''t been able to figure out how to access a parameter passed into the partial.

After many hours of messing around and researching... I''m still unable to get why''s Markaby installed as a Rails plug-in.

Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system, I''d like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log, the last change was in February of 2006.

Hey there Merbers, I''m a Merb neophyte checking it out with a simple app exploration after being inspired by Mr. Katz''s presentation @ JQueryCamp and with the desire to use Markaby if at all possible (I heart camping). I''ve done a little exploration of how to use Markaby in helper code, but any guidance would definitely be appreciated (I definitely do not
