Markaby is a small Ruby library for writing HTML code in pure Ruby. It is an alternative to templating languages such as ERb and HAML which combine Ruby code with some form of markup. It was developed by anonymous computer programmer "why the lucky stiff" and its name comes from Markup as Ruby.

Usage
require 'markaby' mab = Markaby::Builder.new mab.html do head { title "Boats.com" } body do h1 "Boats.com has great deals" ul do li "$49 for a canoe" li "$39 for a raft" li "$29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people" end end end puts mab.to_s
Executing the above code will render the following HTML:
<html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/> <title> Boats.com</title> </head> <body> <h1> Boats.com has great deals</h1> <ul> <li> $49 for a canoe</li> <li> $39 for a raft</li> <li> $29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people</li> </ul> </body> </html>

Camping
Markaby is the templating engine used for the Camping micro web framework.
module HomePage::Views # If you have a `layout' method like this, it # will wrap the HTML in the other methods. The # `self << yield' is where the HTML is inserted. def layout html do title { 'My HomePage' } body { self << yield } end end # The `index' view. Inside your views, you express # the HTML in Ruby. See http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/markaby/. def index p 'Hi my name is Charles.' p 'Here are some links:' ul do li { a 'Google', :href => 'http://google.com/' } li { a 'A sample page', :href => '/sample' } end end # The `sample' view. def sample p 'A sample page' end end
