Questions tagged [erubis]

For questions about Erubis, a fast, secure, and very extensible implementation of Embedded Ruby (eRuby).

Erubis has the following features:

  1. Very fast, almost three times faster than ERB and even 10% faster than eruby
  2. Multi-language support (Ruby/PHP/C/Java/Scheme/Perl/Javascript)
  3. Auto escaping support
  4. Auto trimming spaces around '<% %>'
  5. Embedded pattern changeable (default '<% %>')
  6. Enable to handle Processing Instructions (PI) as embedded pattern (ex. '')
  7. Context object available and easy to combine eRuby template with YAML datafile
  8. Print statement available
  9. Easy to extend and customize in subclass

Erubis is implemented in pure Ruby. It requires Ruby 1.8 or higher. Erubis now supports Ruby 1.9.
