+    # Provides a set of methods for working with text strings that can help unburden the level of inline Ruby code in the
+    # templates. In the example below we iterate over a collection of posts provided to the template and prints each title 
+    # after making sure it doesn't run longer than 20 characters:
+    #   <% for post in @posts %>
+    #     Title: <%= truncate(post.title, 20) %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    module TextHelper
+      # The regular puts and print are outlawed in eRuby. It's recommended to use the <%= "hello" %> form instead of print "hello".
+      # If you absolutely must use a method-based output, you can use concat. It's use like this <% concat "hello", binding %>. Notice that
+      # it doesn't have an equal sign in front. Using <%= concat "hello" %> would result in a double hello.
