GEdit plugin formatting Ruby and ERB code now!
I have published some time ago a GEdit plugin for formatting Ruby code.
Now I just updated the plugin and added support for formatting html.erb and .xml.erb files too.
The main idea is to make this plugin a generic language code formatter for GEdit, contributions are welcome.
As told before, to install it, grab the source from GitHub and copy all files to ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins.
To download the files using Git use the following command line:
git clone git://github.com/urubatan/gedit_formatter.git
If you want to contribute just send a pull request in GitHub or send me a patch by e-mail.
To use the plugin, just press CTRL+ALT+F after installing and enabling it.
If you do not have git installed, you can download a tarbal with the latest sources from this link.

i’m not (yet) using your plugin. but i would if it supported html, xml, javascript and actionscript3
maybe you could write these or publish a tutorial on how to write source code formatters for gedit in general?
thank you
Hi ramon,
The code for formatting ERB can be used to format HTML and XML too, but I want to integrate tidy for this work, I think next week I can publish a version with this integrated.
javascript and actionscript 3 will be a little more dificult, but we can work that out.
The plugin uses command line utilities to format the code, I’ll publish a tutorial on how to integrate other formatters ASAP, thanks for the tip.

Could you publish the tutorial about how to integrate other formatters?, I would like integrate Jalopy.
