    # Layouts reverse the common pattern of including shared headers and footers in many templates to isolate changes in
    # repeated setups. The inclusion pattern has pages that look like this:
    #
    #   <%= render "shared/header" %>
    #   Hello World
    #   <%= render "shared/footer" %>
    #
    # This approach is a decent way of keeping common structures isolated from the changing content, but it's verbose
    # and if you ever want to change the structure of these two includes, you'll have to change all the templates.
    #
    # With layouts, you can flip it around and have the common structure know where to insert changing content. This means
    # that the header and footer are only mentioned in one place, like this:
    #
    #   <!-- The header part of this layout -->
    #   <%= @content_for_layout %>
    #   <!-- The footer part of this layout -->
    #
    # And then you have content pages that look like this:
    #
    #    hello world
    #
    # Not a word about common structures. At rendering time, the content page is computed and then inserted in the layout, 
    # like this:
    #
    #   <!-- The header part of this layout -->
    #   hello world
    #   <!-- The footer part of this layout -->
    #
    # == Accessing shared variables
    #
    # Layouts have access to variables specified in the content pages and vice versa. This allows you to have layouts with
    # references that won't materialize before rendering time:
    #
    #   <h1><%= @page_title %></h1>
    #   <%= @content_for_layout %>
    #
    # ...and content pages that fulfill these references _at_ rendering time:
    #
    #    <% @page_title = "Welcome" %>
    #    Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
    #
    # The result after rendering is:
    #
    #   <h1>Welcome</h1>
    #   Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
    #
    # == Automatic layout assignment
    #
    # If there is a template in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt> with the same name as the current controller then it will be automatically
    # set as that controller's layout unless explicitly told otherwise. Say you have a WeblogController, for example. If a template named 
    # <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.rhtml</tt> or <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.rxml</tt> exists then it will be automatically set as
    # the layout for your WeblogController. You can create a layout with the name <tt>application.rhtml</tt> or <tt>application.rxml</tt>
    # and this will be set as the default controller if there is no layout with the same name as the current controller and there is 
    # no layout explicitly assigned with the +layout+ method. Setting a layout explicitly will always override the automatic behaviour
    # for the controller where the layout is set. Explicitly setting the layout in a parent class, though, will not override the 
    # child class's layout assignement if the child class has a layout with the same name. 
    #
    # == Inheritance for layouts
    #
    # Layouts are shared downwards in the inheritance hierarchy, but not upwards. Examples:
    #
    #   class BankController < ActionController::Base
    #     layout "bank_standard"
    #
    #   class InformationController < BankController
    #
    #   class VaultController < BankController
    #     layout :access_level_layout
    #
    #   class EmployeeController < BankController
    #     layout nil
    #
    # The InformationController uses "bank_standard" inherited from the BankController, the VaultController overwrites
    # and picks the layout dynamically, and the EmployeeController doesn't want to use a layout at all.
    #
    # == Types of layouts
    #
    # Layouts are basically just regular templates, but the name of this template needs not be specified statically. Sometimes
    # you want to alternate layouts depending on runtime information, such as whether someone is logged in or not. This can
    # be done either by specifying a method reference as a symbol or using an inline method (as a proc).
    #
    # The method reference is the preferred approach to variable layouts and is used like this:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     layout :writers_and_readers
    #
    #     def index
    #       # fetching posts
    #     end
    #
    #     private
    #       def writers_and_readers
    #         logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout"
    #       end
    #
    # Now when a new request for the index action is processed, the layout will vary depending on whether the person accessing 
    # is logged in or not.
    #
    # If you want to use an inline method, such as a proc, do something like this:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     layout proc{ |controller| controller.logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" }
    #
    # Of course, the most common way of specifying a layout is still just as a plain template name:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     layout "weblog_standard"
    #
    # If no directory is specified for the template name, the template will by default by looked for in +app/views/layouts/+.
    #
    # == Conditional layouts
    #
    # If you have a layout that by default is applied to all the actions of a controller, you still have the option of rendering
    # a given action or set of actions without a layout, or restricting a layout to only a single action or a set of actions. The 
    # <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be passed to the layout call. For example:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss
    # 
    #     # ...
    #
    #   end
    #
    # This will assign "weblog_standard" as the WeblogController's layout  except for the +rss+ action, which will not wrap a layout 
    # around the rendered view.
    #
    # Both the <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition can accept an arbitrary number of method references, so 
    # #<tt>:except => [ :rss, :text_only ]</tt> is valid, as is <tt>:except => :rss</tt>.
    #
    # == Using a different layout in the action render call
    # 
    # If most of your actions use the same layout, it makes perfect sense to define a controller-wide layout as described above.
    # Some times you'll have exceptions, though, where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller.
    # This is possible using the <tt>render</tt> method. It's just a bit more manual work as you'll have to supply fully
    # qualified template and layout names as this example shows:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     def help
    #       render :action => "help/index", :layout => "help"
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # As you can see, you pass the template as the first parameter, the status code as the second ("200" is OK), and the layout
    # as the third.
    module ClassMethods
      # If a layout is specified, all actions rendered through render and render_action will have their result assigned 
      # to <tt>@content_for_layout</tt>, which can then be used by the layout to insert their contents with
      # <tt><%= @content_for_layout %></tt>. This layout can itself depend on instance variables assigned during action
      # performance and have access to them as any normal template would.
