Ah yes, INI files. We love them. We hate them. We cannot escape them. Originally made popular by Windows, INI files are everywhere including in Samba[www.samba.org] and Trac[trac.edgewall.org]. This gem has one goal: make INI file, structure, and stream manipulation as fast, safe, and simple as possible. We take a modal approach with a pluggable parser class.

This is a generic, language-neutral framework for extending Ruby objects with linguistic methods. It includes an English-language module with inflection, pluralisation, conjunctions, indefinite articles, present participles, ordinal numbers, numbers to words, general quantification, integration with WordNet and CMU's LinkGrammar, as well as a framework for providing modules for other languages.

Loofah is a general library for manipulating HTML/XML documents and fragments. It's built on top of Nokogiri and libxml2, so it's fast and has a nice API. Loofah excels at HTML sanitization (XSS prevention). It includes some nice HTML sanitizers, which are based on HTML5lib's whitelist.

A generic swappable back-end for XML parsing. Lots of Ruby libraries utilize XML parsing in some form, and everyone has their favorite XML library. In order to best support multiple XML parsers and libraries, multi_xml is a general-purpose swappable XML backend library.

Ox, standing for Optimized XML, is a XML parser and object serializer, which is designed to be a speed-optimized alternative to Nokogiri and Marshal. * Ox is self contained, and uses nothing other than standard C libraries. * Ox writes/parses generic XML documents including HTML documents. * Ox serializes Objects into human readable XML in contrast to Marshal * Ox also supports SAX parsing.

Saxon is a collection of tools for processing XML documents. The main components are: - An XSLT 2.0 processor, that can be used from the command line, or invoked from a Java application by use of the standard JAXP API. Saxon can be integrated with Java applications using the JAXP API, which means it is possible for a Java application to switch between different XSLT processors without changing the application code. As well as conforming closely with the XSLT 2.0 specification, Saxon offers a number of powerful extensions. - An XPath 2.0 processor accessible via an API to Java applications. - An XQuery 1.0 processor that can be used from the command line, or invoked from a Java application by use of an API. - An XML Schema 1.0 processor. This can be used on its own to validate a schema for correctness, or to validate a source document against the definitions in a schema. It is also used to support the schema-aware functionality of the XSLT and XQuery processors. So you can use Saxon to process XML by writing XSLT stylesheets, by writing XQuery queries, by writing Java applications, or by combinations of the approaches.

RT is a simple and human-readable table format. RTtool is a converter from RT into various formats. RT can be incorporated into RD. At this time, RTtool can convert RT into HTML and plain text. To convert into plain text, you need w3m.

The syck extension is a binding to the Syck library which facilitates YAML parsing. YAML(tm) (rhymes with "camel") is a straightforward machine parsable data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages. YAML is optimized for data serialization, configuration settings, log files, Internet messaging and filtering.

Supercat (spc) is a program that colorizes text based on matching regular expressions/strings/characters. Supercat supports html output as well as standard ASCII text. Unlike some text-colorizing programs that exist, Supercat does not require you to have to be a programmer to make colorization rules.

libe-book is a library and a set of tools for reading and converting various non-HTML reflowable e-book formats. Currently supported are: - eReader .pdb - FictionBook v. 2 (including zipped files) - PalmDoc Ebook - Plucker .pdb - QiOO (mobile format, for java-enabled cellphones) - TCR (simple compressed text format) - TealDoc - zTXT - ZVR (simple compressed text format)
