Using ERB in Docter documents
Hello,
I'm currently working on a Buildr plugin which uses Docter to generate some
files. With my somewhat limited knowledge of Ruby, I have not been able to
figure out how to pass the ERB templating system my own set of values (a
binding object). Can someone tell me if its possible to pass the textile
files an object which I can then access in the templates themselves?
I noticed that the common.erb_this() method takes a binding object, but have
not been able to figure out how to use this to my adavantage. Any help is
apreciated.
Thank you,
- Juliano DeCarvalho

Hi Juliano,
I have completely misunderstood your question - sorry.
Have never used Docter, so I must resign this question back to the list :-)
Cheers,
Tal

Right now the bindings always point to the context (page or template)
being processed.

Hello Tal,
Thank you for your response. I think I may need to explain myself further.
I understand the concept of passing a binding to ERB. What I could not
figure out is how to do it through Docter. For example, given the following
call to docter, how can I pass it the binding object?
<code>
collection =
Collection.new(doc_name).using('doc/site.toc.yaml').include('doc/pages')
template = Docter.template('doc/site.haml').include('doc/css',
'doc/images', 'doc/scripts')
Docter::Rake.generate 'site', collection, template
</code>
Thank you again for your time.

Hi Juliano,
You might want to look again in the RDocs for ERB:
http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/ERB.html
Search for the title "Ruby in HTML" which demonstrates one of the
options for passing more than one argument to the template.
You can also use OpenStruct to generate a binding object from a Hash.
Cheers,
Tal
