erb interprets a Ruby code embedded text file. For example, erb
enables you to embed a Ruby code to a HTML file.
A Ruby block starts with `<%' and ends with `%>'. erb replaces
the block with its output.
If `<%' is followed by `=', eRuby replaces the block with a value
of the block.
If `<%' is followed by `#', the block is ignored as a comment.
