module Helpers #:nodoc:
# The TextHelper module provides a set of methods for filtering, formatting
# and transforming strings, which can reduce the amount of inline Ruby code in
# your views. These helper methods extend ActionView making them callable
# within your template files.
module TextHelper
# The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the
# <%= "text" %> eRuby syntax. The regular _puts_ and _print_ methods
# do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must
# output text within a non-output code block (i.e., <% %>), you can use the concat method.
#
# ==== Examples
# <%
# concat "hello"
# # is the equivalent of <%= "hello" %>
#
# if (logged_in == true):
# concat "Logged in!"
# else
# concat link_to('login', :action => login)
# end
# # will either display "Logged in!" or a login link
# %>

#
# ==== Examples
#
# truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away")
# # => Once upon a time in a world f...
#
# truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", :length => 14)
# # => Once upon a...
#
# truncate("And they found that many people were sleeping better.", :length => 25, "(clipped)")
# # => And they found that many (clipped)
#
# truncate("And they found that many people were sleeping better.", :omission => "... (continued)", :length => 15)
# # => And they found... (continued)
#
# You can still use <tt>truncate</tt> with the old API that accepts the
# +length+ as its optional second and the +ellipsis+ as its
# optional third parameter:
# truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", 14)

# Creates a Cycle object whose _to_s_ method cycles through elements of an
# array every time it is called. This can be used for example, to alternate
# classes for table rows. You can use named cycles to allow nesting in loops.
# Passing a Hash as the last parameter with a <tt>:name</tt> key will create a
# named cycle. The default name for a cycle without a +:name+ key is
# <tt>"default"</tt>. You can manually reset a cycle by calling reset_cycle
# and passing the name of the cycle. The current cycle string can be obtained
# anytime using the current_cycle method.
