Markaby is a small Ruby library for writing HTML code in pure Ruby. It is an alternative to templating languages such as ERb and HAML which combine Ruby code with some form of markup. It was developed by the computer programmer "why the lucky stiff" and its name comes from Markup as Ruby.

Usage

<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby"> require 'markaby'

mab = Markaby::Builder.new mab.html do

 head { title "Boats.com" }
 body do
   h1 "Boats.com has great deals"
   ul do
     li "$49 for a canoe"
     li "$39 for a raft"
     li "$29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people"
   end
 end

end puts mab.to_s </syntaxhighlight>

Executing the above code will render the following HTML: <syntaxhighlight lang="html"> <html>

 <head>
   <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
   <title>
   Boats.com</title>
 </head>
 <body>

Boats.com has great deals

  • $49 for a canoe
  • $39 for a raft
  • $29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people
 </body>

</html> </syntaxhighlight>

Markaby is the templating engine used for the Camping micro web framework.

<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby">

module HomePage::Views
  # If you have a `layout' method like this, it
  # will wrap the HTML in the other methods.  The
  # `self << yield' is where the HTML is inserted.
  def layout
    html do
      title { 'My HomePage' }
      body { self << yield }
    end
  end
  # The `index' view.  Inside your views, you express
  # the HTML in Ruby.  See http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/markaby/.
  def index
    p 'Hi my name is Charles.'
    p 'Here are some links:'
    ul do
     li { a 'Google', :href => 'http://google.com/' }
     li { a 'A sample page', :href => '/sample' }
    end
  end
  # The `sample' view.
  def sample
    p 'A sample page'
  end
end

</syntaxhighlight>
