XML in Ruby syntax

Trans

Recently I saw an announcement for an XML/HTML builder lib that
embedded the XML directly in Ruby code. What was it? I can't seem to
find it now.

Thanks,
T.

Hi,

It was a post/email (I use the mailing list) from Michael Neumann on
September 15th at 12:13 AM (that's the date I received the email). I
have copied that email below. BTW, how do you guys find the link to
the archives for a specific thread?

Jesus.

I use the Google Group link. But the archives have different views,
providing the message number is enough for someone to quickly pull up
a post.

Thanks,
