HTML can be saved or e-mailed. So can plain text.

MS Word files have no place on the Web or in e-mail since they do not reliably preserve formatting across computers, and RTF suffers from the same issues. If you don't want to recreate your views in Prawn markup, then try prawn_format, Flying Saucer, wkhtmltopdf, or Prince, all of which will generate PDF files from HTML. . > > Thanks, > Brian Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
