[Nitro] Using Facets Builder

[George Moschovitis]

It is an algternative way to generate html for your action. Here are two
examples:

  # This is a programmatic renderer example. Just for
  # demonstration purposes. Some people tend to like this
  # aproach, dunno why, really.

  def prender
    build do |r|
      labels = ['George', 'Stella', 'Renos']
      r.html {
        r.head {
          r.title 'A simple test'
        }
        r.body {
          10.times {
            r.strong 'Hello World'
            r.br
            r.i 'Hello World'
            r.br
          }
          r.select(:id => 'names') {
            r.options :labels => labels, :selected => 1
          }
        }
      }
    end
  end

  # The same example in different flavour :)

  def prender2
    build do
      labels = ['George', 'Stella', 'Renos']
      html {
        head {
          title 'A simple test'
        }
        body {
          10.times {
            strong 'Hello World'
            br
            i 'Hello World222'
            br
          }
          select(:id => 'names') {
            options :labels => labels, :selected => 1
          }
        }
      }
    end
  end


on a nutchell, build just returns a builder instance. Btw, do not change
your implementation to be compatible with this, just make build return your
builder instance. But please make sure that your implementation can be used
in the form helper (this helper, unlike the build command, is used very
often)

regards,
George.
