ERB(1) UNIX ERB(1)NAMEerb - Ruby Templating
SYNOPSISerb [--version] [-UPdnvx] [-E ext[]]:int [-S level] [-T mode] [-r
library] [--] [file ...]
DESCRIPTIONerb is a command line front-end for "ERB" library, which is an imple‐
mentation of eRuby.
eRuby provides an easy to use but powerful templating system for Ruby.
Using eRuby, actual Ruby code can be added to any plain text document
for the purposes of generating document information details and/or flow
control.
erb is a part of Ruby.
OPTIONS--version
Prints the version of .
-E external[]:internal
--encoding external[]:internal
Specifies the default value(s) for external encodings and inter‐
nal encoding. Values should be separated with colon (:).
You can omit the one for internal encodings, then the value
("Encoding.default_internal") will be nil.
-P Evaluates lines starting with "%" as Ruby code and removes the
tailing EOLs.
-S level
Specifies the safe level in which eRuby script will run.
-T mode
Specifies trim mode (default 0). mode can be one of
0 EOL remains after the embedded ruby script is evaluated.
1 EOL is removed if the line ends with "%>".
2 EOL is removed if the line starts with "<%" and ends with "%>".
- EOL is removed if the line ends with "-%>". And leading white‐
spaces are removed if the erb directive starts with "<%-".
-U can be one of Sets the default value for internal encodings
("Encoding.default_internal") to UTF-8.
-d
--debug
Turns on debug mode. "$DEBUG" will be set to true.
-h
--help Prints a summary of the options.
-n Used with -x. Prepends the line number to each line in the out‐
put.
-v Enables verbose mode. "$VERBOSE" will be set to true.
-x Converts the eRuby script into Ruby script and prints it without
line numbers.
EXAMPLES
Here is an eRuby script
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<% require 'prime' -%>
<erb-example>
<calc><%= 1+1 %></calc>
<var><%= __FILE__ %></var>
<library><%= Prime.each(10).to_a.join(", ") %></library>
</erb-example>
Command
"% erb-T - example.erb"
prints
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<erb-example>
<calc>2</calc>
<var>example.erb</var>
<library>2, 3, 5, 7</library>
</erb-example>
