That one ought to cover everything that is specific to Ruby. It may
include hotlinks to e.g. if_perl.txt for things common to all five
interpreted languages: e.g. ":help script-here" about how to bypass
here-documents when a given language is not compiled-in.
If you have a large amount of text that you want to post-process you may
want to store it in a buffer; for a variable, I believe
VIM::command("let foobar = 'value'") is the right way to do it. You may
of course want to use some more complex Ruby expression as the argument
of VIM::command().
Best regards,
Tony.
