      # This method outputs without escaping a string. Since escaping tags is 
      # now default, this can be used when you don't want Rails to automatically
      # escape tags. This is not recommended if the data is coming from the user's
      # input.
      #
      # For example:
      #
      # <%=raw @user.name %>
