Erector

Instead of using templates like most other HTML generators, Erector uses objects, allowing anyone with any OOP skills to quickly put together a new HTML page.

Erector can also be used as a RoR plugin.

Features:

• Support for inheritance
• Modular decomposition
• Encapsulation
• OOP-like programming

What is new in this release:

• 'scss' external type [needs tests]
• dot-class and dot-id-bang syntax
• Expanded widget hierarchy; now XMLWidget can be used as the base for a non-HTML widget (for XML formats that may not want the HTML tags and methods)
• 'emit' method as preferred synonym for to_html (since we now support non-HTML widgets)
• 'tag' macro to add your own tag types (esp. to XML widgets)
• :snake_case option to tag (if you want the method name to be nice for a CamelCase tag name)
• Removed dependency on rake gem
• Renamed 'render' method to 'emit' (to reduce confusion with Rails' "render" methods)
• Added missing favicon_link_tag and crsf_meta_tags helper methods
• Added #capture_content as an alias for #capture, so we can call it in a Rails 3.1 app
