Formula

Formula is a Rails form helper that generates awesome markup. The project aims to let users create semantically beautiful forms without introducing too much syntax. The goal is to make integrating advanced layout systems (such as grid systems) as simple as possible.

Requirements

The gem is tested with Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.7 but may well work with other versions of Ruby and Rails.

Installation

gem install formula
