So it sounds like I can't have Ruby process a standalone template file? So I can't use Ruby as a simple replacement for PHP without adhering more to an application convention for a framework?
I have a mostly static website that I use PHP for simple things, like handling including fragments of HTML that repeat on multiple pages. It sounds like I can't reasonably use Ruby as a replacement for PHP in this situation? I'd rather stick to one language and environment if I can. Sounds like I'd need to keep using PHP for my mostly static website and Ruby on Rails for my web apps. I had hoped to avoid two languages.
