Fora / Nitro / create_tbody? fix; xml-simple dependency; typo in hello/app.rb (!)

• Raw now requires xmlsimple. I updated raw.gemspec to specify the
  dependency.
  * I tried an app that included og and admin but had no models. Og
  admin threw an exception in create_tbody? in table.rb. I think
  it’s more correct to display a zero-length table of Og types when
  there are zero Og types than it is to throw an exception.
  * My last patch left the glycerin include commented out in
  hello/app.rb. I uncommented the include so that Hello runs
  without any changes, because that’s how HelloWorld should be…
  
  Thanks,

You forgot to attach the patch!

I’m not sure, do we want to depend on another library?

I don’t know whether or not you want to. But whether you want to or not, you do.

I think at this point there are three options:

replace XML Simple with existing standard library XML functionality
keep XML simple, which entails adding the dependency to the gem
*do nothing - require xmlsimple, and keep the gemspec without the dependency statement

The third option in my opinion is an error - raw will install without complaint, but will throw an exception at runtime. The dependency is a fact whether it’s expressed or not.

So options 1 or 2—either remove the dependency or, if not, then express it in the gemspec.

perhaps we can replace xmlsimple with a library offering similar functionality in facets. In fact I may work on something along these lines. If i actually finish it I will push it to Tom.
