I know alot of you out there are using Erb syntax for your rthtml files in Rails. Erb is also used in Hobix and Soks. Well, did you know that you can mark Erb lines with an initial percent symbol, saving yourself the messiness of open and close brackets?

This:

 <% entries.each do |e| %>
   <div class="entryTitle"><%= e.title %></div>
   <div class="entryBody">
     <%= e.content.to_html %>
   </div>
 <% end %>

Can also be expressed as:

 % entries.each do |e|
   <div class="entryTitle"><%= e.title %></div>
   <div class="entryBody">
     <%= e.content.to_html %>
   </div>
 % end

I find it especially nice for loops, since I can easily browse the file for those marked lines. (More on Erb syntax in the docs.)
