NAME

       erb - an embedded Ruby language interpreter

SYNOPSIS

       erb1.9.1 [switches] [inputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       erb  interprets  a  Ruby  code embedded text file. For example, erb enables you to embed a
       Ruby code to a HTML file.  A Ruby block starts with `<%' and ends with `%>'. erb  replaces
       the  block  with  its output.  If `<%' is followed by `=', eRuby replaces the block with a
       value of the block.  If `<%' is followed by `#', the block is ignored as a comment.
