Listing
How would you go about generating a page like this in Rails?
Each of the letters at the top of the page is a link to #a, #b, etc. Above each row <a name="a"></a> tags need to be added for all the letters that occur between the previous row and this row.
Here is a sample array:
| require 'active_support/core_ext/array' | |
| items = ["African", "Ambient", "Asian", "Avant-garde", "Blues", "Breakbeat", "Caribbean", "Comedy", "Country", "Disco", "Downtempo", "Drum & Bass", "Easy listening", "Electro", "Electronic", "Folk", "Hardcore", "Hardstyle", "Hip hop", "House", "Industrial", "Jazz", "Jungle", "Latin", "Pop", "R&B", "Rock", "Soul", "Techno", "Trance"] | |
| letters = ('a'..'z') | |
| puts letters.to_a.map(&:upcase).join(' ') | |
| last_letter = '`' # ` is the char before 'a' | |
| items.in_groups_of(2).each do |group| | |
| next_letter = group.compact.map { |item| item[0].downcase }.last |
| <?xml version="1.0"?> | |
| <root> | |
| <appdef> | |
| <appname>SLACK</appname> | |
| <equal>com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap</equal> | |
| </appdef> | |
| <item> | |
| <name>Slack Customisation</name> |

| endif | |

| I turned off most of Skype's pesky notifications. This pair of scripts allows | |
| you to be notified when a particular user becomes available. Since it is | |
| separate from the Skype application its settings can be customised individually | |
| in the Growl preference pane. I have mine set to play a sound and show the | |
| notification as a bezel. | |
| It probably isn't necessary for this to be two seperate scripts. At some point | |
| I should look in to consolidating them into one AppleScript or one Ruby scirpt. | |
| Probably the former. |
