Ruby Heredocs

heredocs.rb

# by default, heredoc strings are treated like double-quoted ruby strings, which means you can do string interpolation:

<<-EOF
  The time is #{Time.now}
EOF
# => The time is Wed Sep 14 10:04:29 -0400 2011

# But you can create heredoc strings that are treated like single-quoted string, like this:

<<-'EOF'
  The time is #{Time.now}
EOF
# => The time is #{Time.now}
