Can't test it now, but I'm pretty sure I already tried
the suggested open version (which also is much more
artistically appealing, btw) and that it did not like any
code within (I think the extra end-ruby "%>" may have
confused it). At least, the IDE didn't like it. I'll
try it in rails 2.1 tomorrow.
Is there any other way at all to say unequivocally "do not
interpret *anything* between these *here* and *there*?
Thanks...
