Using Gestalt in Views

[Rich]

Can anyone advise on how to use Gestalt in Views, perhaps with a helpful example?  I have searched documentation, examples, specs  extensively but I am still in the dark.  I have managed to use Gestalt successfully only in a controller.

(not sure of group etiquette yet so TIA anyway.)

Rich,

Gestalt can be used like any other class in your views (this example assumes
you're using Etanni):

<?r g = Ramaze::Gestalt.new ?>

<!-- Some HTML goes in here -->

<?r g.ul do ?>
<?r 10.times do ?>
<?r g.li do ?>
Some text goes in here, if all goes well this should be displayed
10 times.
<?r end ?>
<?r end ?>
<?r end ?>

Thanks for rapid response.  Tried your example (plus the line 'helper :gestalt' in the controller) and the output was text only; no html tags were generated.  So I am part way there.

Rich,

Woops, my bad. I was using the wrong tags and forgot to call
Ramaze::Gestalt#to_s. I wrote a small example which can be seen in this Gist:
https://gist.github.com/1565514. As you can see it's not very clean to directly
do it in the view but it is possible.

That works.

This aslo seems to work in a view file: 

<?r

html_page =

  build do

    html do

      head do

        title "Hello, World!"

      end

      body do

        h1 "Hello, World!", :style=>'color:green'

      end

    end

  end

?>

#{html_page}

and seems clean enough.

Not sure what module::ramaze::view::gestalt is for, maybe I should not worry about that. 

Thanks again

Rich,

The view adapter Ramaze::View::Gestalt should make it possible for you to use
Gestalt in your views without having to mess around with those Etanni tags. I
haven't used it myself but the specifications show that you can use it as
following:

    html do
      head do
        title 'Page title goes in here'
      end
      body do
        h1 'This is the heading'
      end
    end
