XML in Ruby syntax

09-30-2007

Recently I saw an announcement for an XML/HTML builder lib that

find it now.

Thanks,
T.

Hi,

It was a post/email (I use the mailing list) from Michael Neumann on
September 15th at 12:13 AM (that's the date I received the email). I
have copied that email below. BTW, how do you guys find the link to
the archives for a specific thread?

Jesus.
