NAME

  tagz.rb

SYNOPSIS

  require Tagz

  include Tagz.globally

  a_(:href => "/foo"){ "bar" }  #=>  <a href="/foo">bar</a> 

DESCRIPTION

  tagz.rb is generates html, xml, or any sgml variant like a small ninja
  running across the backs of a herd of giraffes swatting of heads like a
  mark-up weedwacker.  weighing in at less than 200 lines of code tagz.rb adds
  an html syntax to ruby that is both unobtrusive, safe, and available
  globally to objects without the need for any builder or superfluous objects.
  tagz.rb is designed for applications that generate html to be able to do so
  easily in any context without heavyweight syntax or scoping issues, like a
  ninja sword through butter.
