This is all very confusing. I've been googling... I see references to .erb files, .rhtml and .erb.html files. Sounds like what I want to do can be done, but I don't get the impression its done very often because it doesn't seem very easy nor straightforward.
There used to be eRuby. But it sounds like you can use the erb module in Ruby instead. I've found instructions where you can manually create a ruby script and a CGI command to run whatever extension you define in an Apache config file. Its an amazingly manual configuration process. Does no one do this? Is it Ruby on Rails or bust? Can you use Ruby template files, ie Ruby embedded in HTML on an Apache webserver or do most folks just use PHP if this is needed and only use Ruby for web applications?
