.rhtml files and server-side includes?

Another CGI-type question: Is it possible to use server-side includes
with .rhtml files? What does the syntax look like?

Assuming you’re using apache there is IMHO no way to post process .rhtml
file with mod_include.

You can do something like this:

def to_html( template )
template = @site.assets_dir + "templates/" + template + ".rhtml"

code = "page=self; site=page.site;\n"
File.open( template, "r" ) { |file|
    compiler = ERuby::Compiler.new
    code += compiler.compile_file(file)
}


io = MockIO.new
$defout = io

eval( code )

$defout = $stdout

io.read
end

MockIO can be a StringIO if you’re using 1.7(?), or something that you
roll together yourself. Not exactly an include, but kinda serves a
similar purpose.
