END tmpl.expand(STDOUT, PO.new) would be this in Kashmir (this will generate the same output as the Amrita template; you can simply drop the unneeded spans if you want): require 'kashmir' tmpl = Kashmir.for_XML <<-END
^nested_struct.with{^hour:^min:^sec}
^day
} END tmpl.expand(PO.new, STDOUT) Now you could say you have a fair lot of logic in your code, and use Elusion to keep it outside: require 'kashmir' require 'elusion' tmpl = Kashmir.for_XML <<-END^nested_struct
^to_s
} END po = PO.new elusion = Elusion.new { |e| e.array_data po.array_data e.nested_struct [po.nested_struct.hour, po.nested_struct.min, po.nested_struct.sec].join(":") po.nested_structs.each { |s| e.nested_structs s.day } } p elusion.array_data tmpl.expand(elusion, STDOUT) == Command reference All Kashmir commands are introduced with ^. A normal string will be sent to the object. The method may not take any parameters. You can chain several method calls at once: ^to_s Common case when iterating ^time.hour Method chaining The more ^ you prefix your command with, the higher the scope of the reciever will be. ^first_loop{ ^foo Called in the scope of the current loop ^second_loop{ ^bar Called in the scope of the current loop ^^foo Like ^foo outside the loop ^^^quux Same scope as where the outer loop was called } } You can instance_eval any code when you put it in parentheses after the ^. Please note that the parenthesis *inside* the code need to match. ^(2+2) 4 ^(Time.now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")) 17:53:15 You can pass blocks if you place the braces *directly* after the method. Then the template will be made a block and given to the method. The first parameter will always get the default object of the scope (acessible with ^whatever), but you can also access the objects yielded to the block by their position: ^({:a => 1, :b => 2}.each){ ^0 -> ^1 } a -> 1 b -> 2 Finally, you can place comments which last till the end of the line (including newline) with ^#: ^# everyone ignores me *sniff* For various special purposes, you can define Kashmir Instructions that can do things a simple method call does not allow. Instructions are called just like methods with ^(). Currently, there are these instructions: ^(raw body.to_html) Emit the result of the code without sanitation ^(ignore weirdcall) Evaluate the code, but do not generate any output ^(call tag) Get the code for the template `tag', and call it Taglibs provide an flexible way to structure large templates. You can pass a taglib as the second parameter to Kashmir.new. A taglib can be any object that returns a Kashmir template string when called with taglib[tag], e.g. a Hash or some special object to read templates from files. == History March 18, 2005:: First public release 0.2. == Copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Christian Neukirchen
