I’m using TextMate to edit some Ruby on Rails code. I noticed that when I edit the view pages (i.e. index.html.erb) it does not do syntax highlighting.

Installing Ruby on Rails in FreeBSD with Postgres
After setting up a minimal FreeBSD install, I want to get Ruby on Rails up and running. Let’s see what’s available in the ports tree. The ruby-gems port looks promising. Let’s install it.
