Erb mode

[garga]

What mode do you use to edit erb templates? I'm not comfortable with
multi major modes approach. Does it make sense to create a separate
erb major mode that could highlight html, ruby, and erb code?

Unfortunately currently emacs does not give good support multumode.
But it is possible to use various hacks, for example mmm-mode:

(require 'mmm-auto)
(setq mmm-submode-decoration-level 2)
(mmm-add-group
'fancy-html
'((html-erb
:submode ruby-mode
:match-face (("<%#" . mmm-comment-submode-face)
("<%=" . mmm-output-submode-face)
("<%" . mmm-code-submode-face))
:front "<%[#=]?"
:back "%>"
:insert ((?% erb-code nil @ "<%" @ " " _ " " @ "%>" @)
(?# erb-comment nil @ "<%#" @ " " _ " " @ "%>" @)
(?= erb-expression nil @ "<%=" @ " " _ " " @ "%>" @)))))

(add-to-list 'mmm-mode-ext-classes-alist '(html-mode nil fancy-html))

There was a thread about this a few days ago.

I use the rhtml mode from the rinari project:
http://rinari.rubyforge.org/

I'm only using the rhtml mode from rinari, and using emacs-on-rails
for everything else. It would be nice if those two project would
consider merging.

Peter,

As I understand it, from a discussion at RubyConf, the same person is
maintaining both projects, so maybe there's hope of that in the
future.

Dima,

Do you plan to include something similar to rinary rhtml mode into
emacs-on-rails project?

Peter, thanks for the link. Looks like what I need.

how do I add rhtml + rails-minor-mode to start when I open *.html.erb
files ?

or is there a better solution you guys are using ?

(autoload 'rhtml-mode "rhtml-mode" "RHTML" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rhtml$" . rhtml-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html\.erb$" . rhtml-mode))

That will not load rails-minor-mode inside html.erb files right !?
