Hi all,
With the assistance of Greg Millam, we've released PageTemplate 2.0.
PageTemplate is a Ruby package which allows you to utilize text
templates for your Web projects. It is mainly intended for use in a
CGI environment, but has been designed to be useful in a broad range
of similar applications. Additional details can be found at the
PageTemplate home pages:
* http://rubyforge.org/projects/pagetemplate/
* http://coolnamehere.com/products/pagetemplate/
