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 the 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
