ERB template option

[andyh]

Hi,

I've added an option to generate the html files using erb rather than haml for those of us who aren't totally sold on haml if you want to pull this into your repo?

Awesome! This is cool. I definitely want this.

It's too bad that there's no real good way to specify additional parameters to the compass command. I've considered building a rails generator so that Thor could handle the actual installation. See https://github.com/sporkd/compass-html5-boilerplate/issues#issue/6

My other concern is making people set the ENV['TEMPLATE_ENGINE'] in their running rails app. Unlike the google env variables, if they forget to set this one then things will break. I think it's much better to just have the haml template call ie_tag_haml and the erb template call ie_tag_erb. Then we can just deprecate ie_tag, but leave it in there so older templates don't break.

This also increases the maintenance a bit. But the amount of changes seem to have settled down upstream, so I'm for it.

Thanks again for the effort! Busy week coming up here, but will try to pull it in here asap.

Yeah, I think a thor generator would be the best bet - I had assumed compass would be using something like thor anyway so was a bit surprised that you couldn't pass your own options in. I agree about the ENV var though, it felt a bit hacky to have it in rails too.

If anyone's interested, I took andy's work and added a fallback so it will use erb when haml isn't installed. This way you don't have to worry about the ENV vary unless you're mixing erb and haml in the same site for some reason.
