Okay, once again, the idea here is to make HTML easily expressible for beginnies during a tutorial. If we can show that Ruby can be used to assemble a blog template pretty nicely, then someone might go, “Okay, I’m doing this!”

Here’s the latest webpage.rb. And here’s RedHanded sort-of-translated to webpage-test.rb.

Peek:

  div.entry do
    h2.entryTitle 'Son of WebPage'
    div.entrySection %{by "why(Visit why's homepage)":http://whytheluckystiff.net/}
    div.entryContent '_Okay_, once again, the idea here is ...'
  end

Main changes:

• Give elements a class (or classes) by attaching a method: div.button.red translates to
  .
• Give elements an ID by adding a bang to that method: div.page! translates to
  .
• Got rid of link_to, using normal a.
• Divs can now take a string containing Textile.

I wasn’t gonna do the bang but it looks cool. The method attachment trick is done in CssProxy.
