Hey Josh, Appologies for the late entry to this thread -- finally getting around to making prawnto template handler plugin work with 2.2. But in this thread you seem to contradict what I thought you had told me earlier in a github message:

I'm very confused. What if we take the builder template as an example (since prawnto template handler works very similarly in that it is just ruby code) -- is there any speed gain expected by "compiling" it? Or did I just misunderstand? thanks for the help! -thorny_sun On Nov 14, 4:11 pm, Joshua Peek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, you source will get compiled into a ruby method and it will just > run that instead.
