I have a following translation:
welcome: Hello there, %{general_kenobi}
Now I know, that I can put HTML tags in the translation, like <em> or so. But what if I want this general_kenobi to have my custom style? How do I implement it? I've tried to google it, but didn't find anythin useful (or maybe I'm just bad at googling). Thank in advance!
If you want to add something fancy like this to your locale you must add the _html extension to the key.
From the docs
Keys with a '_html' suffix and keys named 'html' are marked as HTML
safe. When you use them in views the HTML will not be escaped.
en:
welcome_html: "<b>Bolded text</b>"
then just the regular stuff in your views
<%= t('welcome_html')

I am working on a Rails application whose HAML templates frequently make use of a routine called sanitize. I have deduced from context that this routine sanitizes user-controlled HTML. Example:
# views/feed_items/_about.html.haml
%h3 Summary:
.description
= sanitize #feed_item.description
I want to make this routine add 'rel=nofollow' to all outbound links, in addition to what it's already doing. What is the most straightforward way to do that?
N.B. I am not having any luck finding the definition of this method, or the official configuration knobs for it. The vendor directory has two different HTML sanitizer gems in it and I can't even figure out which one is being used. This is a large, complicated web application that I did not write, and I barely understand Ruby, let alone all of Rails' extensions to it. Please assume I do not know any of the things that you think are obvious.
The sanitizer will strip out the rel tags if they exist.
I ran into a similar issue and added an additional helper method - clean_links to the ApplicationHelper module, and called it after sanitizing the content.
# application_helper.rb
def clean_links html
html.gsub!(/\\2')
html.html_safe
end
This method looks for all <a> tags, and adds rel="nofollow". The html_safe method is necessary or else the HTML will be displayed as a string (it's already been sanitized).
This solution treats all links equally, so if you only want this for links pointing outside the domain, you'll have to update the REGEX accordingly.
In your view: <%= clean_links sanitize(#something) %>
So, first the content is sanitized, then you add the rel="nofollow" tag before displaying the link.
Actually there's a built-in way:
sanitize "your input", scrubber: Loofah::Scrubbers::NoFollow.new
What techniques/methods are there for dealing with emphasized or stylized text in localized strings?
For example, how might a brief title such as the one below (4–8 words) be italicized?
Welcome to the Machine, John.
Is there a more efficient way than 3 lookups, plus a variable to define the structure?
Check out documentation it says:
Third, it'll mark the translation as safe HTML if the key has the suffix “_html” or the last element of the key is the word “html”. For example, calling translate(“footer_html”) or translate(“footer.html”) will return a safe HTML string that won't be escaped by other HTML helper methods. This naming convention helps to identify translations that include HTML tags so that you know what kind of output to expect when you call translate in a template.
So you need to append suffix _html to your key and now you can use html in your locales.
For example this is your locale file:
en:
welcome:
html: '<b>Hello!</b> This is first way to style your locales!'
welcome_html: '<b>Hi again!</b> This is second way to style your locales!'
Now just set I18n.t 'en.welcome.html' or I18n.t 'en.welcome_html' in your views. That's all! :)
I am using slim as the template engine for my rails app and would like to use slim for mailer templates as well.
There is no problem with html mailer templates (views/mailer/default_email.en.html.slim) but, I am not sure how to make the text templates work.
I have placed a text template in views/mailer/default_email.en.text.slim with this content:
Hello,
Your video is ready.
= #url
Thank you,
The A-Team
But the result is parsed as slim HTML, and looks like this:
<Hello>,</Hello><Your>video is ready.</Your><Click>the link below to watch it:</Click>http://watch.thy/video<Thank>you,</Thank><The>A-Team</The>
Other than prefixing every line with a pipe, isnt there a more natural way?
I even looked for an embedded plugin (like the markdown one) to say "plain text" but there is none.
Thanks in advance.
Slim was designed to generate HTML, not plain text, so you'll have to either use the pipe prefix for each line or go with .text.erb templates. I'd use the ERB templates, especially if you don't have a lot of interpolation going on.
For what it's worth, you can actually go the Slim route without having to prefix each line with a pipe, like so:
|
Hello,
<br><br>
Your video is ready.<br>
#{#url}
<br><br>
Thank you,<br>
The A-Team
I would definitely agree with eugen though, that the text.erb route is the best fit. Just providing another solution, in case somebody absolutely insisted on doing this in Slim. :-)
I'm working on a pastebin clone. I need the user to be able to type in HTML without it being used like HTML. For example, my user types "<html> Hello, world! </html>", and the html tags don't appear because the text is being treated like HTML. I do not want this to happen.
I want this to happen to this line:
<%=simple_format(#post.content )%>
How could I accomplish this? I tried using raw and .html_safe and they didn't work.
The SanitizeHelper module provides a set of methods for scrubbing text of undesired HTML elements. These helper methods extend Action View making them callable within your template files.
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html
I forgotten the name of this library. But it's sort of like Wiki how you type certain characters in front of your text, and then it'll make the text bold/italic/underline.
I'm not asking for the way Wiki is formatted but I'm aware there is something similar built into Rails. It's at the tip of my tongue. Thanks.
Are you looking for the textilize view helper? In your view, just say:
<%= textilize( post.body_text ) %>
Many of these are implemented in Ruby:

I like Markdown, through RDiscount.
RedCloth does this. It gives you textile markup (which is among the markup languages listed in Daniel's answer).
