hello,

I'm looking at putting together an extremely simple engine for
generating a set of static pages from Haml. I really like Haml's
approach to clean markup and am a devoted fan of it wrt Rails apps.
However, a lot of the guidance I've read assumes that you'll be using
Haml with Rails, and I'm not sure I understand which aspects of Haml
are valid in a Rails environment and which need to be adjusted if
you're not using Rails.

As a trivial example, what would be great to see is how you'd output a
series of page to static .html files based on the contents of an
Array. For instance, suppose you have a `fruit_controller.rb` file
that declares `fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]` and a Haml
template `fruit.haml`. The template prints a blank HTML page and sets
the title to whatever value is stored in `fruit`. How would you pass
each value in the array to the same `fruit.haml` template and write a
set of files named {apple,banana,cherry}.html to disk?

This sort of nuts-and-bolts stuff represents the critical bulk of what
I'd be doing. Are there tutorials or examples I can look at to get a
feel for these and similar tasks?

Thanks!
