    # 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", binding 
      #       # is the equivalent of <%= "hello" %>

      # +length+ (defaults to 30) and the last characters will be replaced with the +truncate_string+

      #
      # ==== Examples

      # 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.  You can manually reset a cycle by calling reset_cycle and passing the 
      # name of the cycle.
