mustache.js in_groups_of I needed mustache.js to iterate over a list in groups of 2 to take advantage of Twitter Bootstraps “row” and “span” classes. Here is how I got it done (using jQuery).
$.fn.inGroupsOf = function( countPerGroup, groupName ) {
var groups = [], offset = 0, $group, jsonOptions;
while ( ($group = this.slice( offset, (countPerGroup + offset) )).length ) {
jsonOptions = {};
jsonOptions[groupName] = $group.toArray();
groups.push( jsonOptions );
offset += countPerGroup;
}
return groups;
};

Converting SVG content from Highcharts into PNGs to be embedded into a PDF. Eventually I settled on using prawn-svg (thanks, Matt!). But I thought this solution was interesting enough to retain.
