Sinatra Maruku Extension

The sinatra-maruku extension provides maruku helper method for rendering Maruku templates.

To install it, run:

sudo gem install wbzyl-sinatra-maruku -s http://gems.github.com

To test it, create a simple Sinatra application:

# app.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

gem 'wbzyl-sinatra-maruku', '>=0.0.6'
require 'sinatra/maruku'

get "/" do
  maruku "# Hello Maruku"
end

and run it with:

ruby app.rb

The result could be seen at http://localhost:4567.

Another example could be find in the examples directory. Run it with:

rackup -p 4567 config.ru

Maruku Templates

This helper method:

get '/' do
  maruku :index
end

renders template ./views/index.maruku.

If a layout named layout.maruku exists, it will be used each time a template is rendered.

You can disable layouts by passing :layout => false to maruku helper. For example

get '/' do
  maruku :index, :layout => false
end

You can set a different layout from the default one with:

get '/' do
  maruku :index, :layout => :application
end

This renders ./views/index.maruku template within ./views/application.maruku layout.

Sample layout for Maruku templates

CSS: /stylesheets/application.css /stylesheets/print.css
