+Laydown is a simple template language for defining quick HTML5 layouts in Ruby. Never write the same old boilerplate again.
+
+    require 'laydown'
+
+    layout = Laydown.new do |_|
+      _.charset 'some crazy charset'
+      _.title 'A man in a cave'
+      _.description 'A man is sitting in a cave.'
+      _.keywords 'man, cave, mystery', @keywords
+      _.favicon '/maninacave.png'
+      _.css '/maninacave/style.css'
+      _.css @css, '/site.css'
+      _.js @js
+      _.inline_js 'alert("Grrr");'
+      _.head '<meta generator="FlushFlox Super Deluxe">'
+      _.ga_code 'UA-8079526-5' # google analytics
+      _.body_class @body_class
+    end
+
+    @css        = 'somesheet.css'
+    @body_class = 'front'
+
+    layout.render(self) { '<p>this comes in the body</p>' }
+    # => your html5 layout
+
+The block given to `Laydown.new` will be evaluated in the context passed to the `render` method.
