Emacs currently does not have a mode for it. There is a Ruby mode distributed from the Ruby developers themselves. Would it make sense to ask the developers whether they'd consider an assignment to the FSF so that we could support Ruby out of the box? I have not yet tried this mode so I can't vouch for its quality. I'd suppose it would be better than Fundamental Mode, though. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
