# Builder 1.2.4 Released.¶ ↑

Added a “CDATA” method to the XML Markup builder (from Josh Knowles).

## What is Builder?¶ ↑

Builder::XmlMarkup allows easy programmatic creation of XML markup. For example:

    builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>STDOUT, :indent=>2)
    builder.person { |b| b.name("Jim"); b.phone("555-1234") }
    puts builder.target!

will generate:

    <person>
      <name>Jim</name>
      <phone>555-1234</phone>
    </person>

## Availability¶ ↑

The easiest way to get and install builder is via RubyGems …

    gem install builder    (you may need root/admin privileges)
