So hacking on Renshi to reduce typing needed for Ruby insertion led me to change the functionality of $ . It now acts more like a toggle switch and the $ symbol is finally inappropriate.

So here I think perhaps the pipe symbol would be a better fit. I'm seeking opinion on the following symbol use.

Take a quick glance at the bottom of this file, for the updated symbology.

Proprosed symbols:

| reserves the rest of the line (up until \n or the end of the element) for ruby, unless another | toggles back into HTML.

Just hacking some ideas for a CMS.

Notes


Premise:

Separation of Concerns

<!-- which one for attribute expressions? -->

1. <span :if="foo">hello</span><span :else>goodbye</span>

2. <span ::if="foo">hello</span><span ::else>goodbye</span>

3. <span c:if="foo">hello</span><span c:else>goodbye</span>

4. <span r:if="foo">hello</span><span r:else>goodbye</span>

#why doesn't this exist?

class Foo
  attr_accessor :two, :one
end

foo = Foo.new("two", "one")
foo.one.should eql "one"

#map the 'send' route to a controller then watch Rails break

  map.connect "/send", :controller => "invitations", :action => "send"
