Ruby on Rails views are HTML with embedded Ruby (ERb), with an
extension of ".html.erb".
The HTML lexer currently supports highlighting for JS, PHP, Python,
ASP, but not Ruby. So this support will need to be added if you want
ERb highlighting within HTML.

P.S. I was previously thinking about writing a Haml lexer, but I've
given up on that idea. Fixing the Ruby lexer so that it works with
Haml was good enough.
