Enabling ruby syntax highlighting for Emacs html.erb files

Question

I am running Emacs Live with Rinari. In .erb files html-mode is enabled automatically, however embedded Ruby is not highlighted according to ruby-mode. Is there any way to enable both html-mode and ruby-mode within .html.erb files?

Answer 1

Check out web-mode, which is designed for HTML templating. It can be installed via MELPA or Marmalade. (Note that this is not a way to run html-mode and ruby-mode simultaneously as you requested; it's a completely different mode. It's also probably your best bet.)

Out of the box, it supports .html.erb (and many others), with superficial CSS and JavaScript support (highlighting and indenting).
