This is a Ruby module that I use on this blog as a shortcut to reference images, audio, footnotes, etc. It’s very specific to my needs, but you might find something useful in it.

By including the Preprocessor module, your class will have a preprocessed method that returns an object capable of filtering the return values of instance methods of that class:

class Article
  attr_accessor :title, :body
  include Preprocessor
end

a = Article.new(:title => 'Sup')
a.body = '{{title}}: Deth metal {{audio src:/files/audio/deth-metal}}'

a.body              #=> '{{title}}: Deth metal {{audio src:/files/audio/deth-metal}}'
a.preprocessed.body #=> 'Sup: Deth metal <audio controls><source ... /></audio>'
