[ANN] Radius 0.0.1 -- Powerful Tag-Based Templates

John W. Long

1/22/2006 5:18:00 AM

I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Radius 0.0.1. This is
very beta right now, but I wanted to release it so that I could begin
getting feedback.

Radius is a small, but powerful tag-based template language for Ruby
inspired by the template languages used in MovableType
<www.movabletype.org> and TextPattern <www.textpattern.com>. It uses
tags similar to HTML, but can be used to generate any form of plain text
(XML, e-mail, etc...).

Download:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gro...

Documentation:
http://radius.rub...

Instalation:
% gem install radius

A small usage example:

class ThreeStoogesContext < Radius::Context
def initialize
@prefix = 'ts'
end
def stooge(attr)
content = ''
["Larry", "Moe", "Curly"].each do |name|
@name = name
content << yield
end
content
end
def name(attr)
@name
end
end

parser = Radius::Parser.new(ThreeStoogesContext.new)

template = <<-TEMPLATE
<ul>
<ts:stooge>
<li><ts:name /></li>
</ts:stooge>
</ul>
TEMPLATE

puts parser.parse(template)


This will output:

<ul>

<li>Larry</li>

<li>Moe</li>

<li>Curly</li>

</ul>

Enjoy!

This looks a lot like PHPTAL.

Nice work. Would love to see a .rad extension for Rails at some point :)

I'm a little partial to the radius syntax. :)

Someone is already working on a plugin for it, so perhaps it won't be
too much longer.
