# Action View templates can be written in three ways. If the template file has a .erb (or .rhtml) extension then it uses a mixture of ERb
# (included in Ruby) and HTML. If the template file has a .builder (or .rxml) extension then Jim Weirich's Builder::XmlMarkup library is used.
# If the template file has a .rjs extension then it will use ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator.
#
# = ERb
#
# You trigger ERb by using embeddings such as <% %>, <% -%>, and <%= %>. The <%= %> tag set is used when you want output. Consider the
# following loop for names:
#
# Names of all the people
# <% for person in @people %>
# Name: <%= person.name %>
# <% end %>
#
# The loop is setup in regular embedding tags <% %> and the name is written using the output embedding tag <%= %>. Note that this
# is not just a usage suggestion. Regular output functions like print or puts won't work with ERb templates. So this would be wrong:
#
# Hi, Mr. <% puts "Frodo" %>
#
# If you absolutely must write from within a function, you can use the TextHelper#concat.
#
# <%- and -%> suppress leading and trailing whitespace, including the trailing newline, and can be used interchangeably with <% and %>.
#
# == Using sub templates
#
# Using sub templates allows you to sidestep tedious replication and extract common display structures in shared templates. The
# classic example is the use of a header and footer (even though the Action Pack-way would be to use Layouts):
#
# <%= render "shared/header" %>
# Something really specific and terrific
# <%= render "shared/footer" %>
#
# As you see, we use the output embeddings for the render methods. The render call itself will just return a string holding the
# result of the rendering. The output embedding writes it to the current template.
#
# But you don't have to restrict yourself to static includes. Templates can share variables amongst themselves by using instance
# variables defined using the regular embedding tags. Like this:
#
# <% @page_title = "A Wonderful Hello" %>
# <%= render "shared/header" %>
#
# Now the header can pick up on the @page_title variable and use it for outputting a title tag:
#
#
<%= @page_title %>
#
# == Passing local variables to sub templates
#
# You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:
#
# <%= render "shared/header", { :headline => "Welcome", :person => person } %>
#
# These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
#
# Headline: <%= headline %>
# First name: <%= person.first_name %>
#
# If you need to find out whether a certain local variable has been assigned a value in a particular render call,
# you need to use the following pattern:
#
# <% if local_assigns.has_key? :headline %>
# Headline: <%= headline %>
# <% end %>
#
# Testing using defined? headline will not work. This is an implementation restriction.
#
# == Template caching
#
# By default, Rails will compile each template to a method in order to render it. When you alter a template, Rails will
# check the file's modification time and recompile it.
#
# == Builder
#
# Builder templates are a more programmatic alternative to ERb. They are especially useful for generating XML content. An XmlMarkup object
# named +xml+ is automatically made available to templates with a .builder extension.
#
# Here are some basic examples:
#
# xml.em("emphasized") # => emphasized
# xml.em { xml.b("emph & bold") } # => emph & bold
# xml.a("A Link", "href"=>"http://onestepback.org") # => A Link
# xml.target("name"=>"compile", "option"=>"fast") # =>
# # NOTE: order of attributes is not specified.
#
# Any method with a block will be treated as an XML markup tag with nested markup in the block. For example, the following:
#
# xml.div {
# xml.h1(@person.name)
# xml.p(@person.bio)
# }
#
# would produce something like:
#

# xml.link(@url)
# xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
# xml.language "en-us"
# xml.ttl "40"
#
# for item in @recent_items
# xml.item do
# xml.title(item_title(item))
# xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
# xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
# xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
# xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
#
# xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
# end
# end
# end
# end
#
# More builder documentation can be found at http://builder.rubyforge.org.
#
# == JavaScriptGenerator
#
# JavaScriptGenerator templates end in .rjs. Unlike conventional templates which are used to
# render the results of an action, these templates generate instructions on how to modify an already rendered page. This makes it easy to
# modify multiple elements on your page in one declarative Ajax response. Actions with these templates are called in the background with Ajax
# and make updates to the page where the request originated from.
#
# An instance of the JavaScriptGenerator object named +page+ is automatically made available to your template, which is implicitly wrapped in an ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#update_page block.
#
# When an .rjs action is called with +link_to_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated. Example:
#
# link_to_remote :url => {:action => 'delete'}
#
# The subsequently rendered delete.rjs might look like:
#
# page.replace_html 'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar'
# page.remove "person-#{@person.id}"
# page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list'
#
# This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list.
#
# See the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::GeneratorMethods documentation for more details.
