module ActionView module Helpers #:nodoc: # 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 %>.
