  module Helpers #:nodoc:
    # 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" %>
      #
      #       if (logged_in == true):
      #         concat "Logged in!", binding
      #       else
      #         concat link_to('login', :action => login), binding
      #       end
      #       # will either display "Logged in!" or a login link
      #   %>
      def concat(string, binding)
        eval(ActionView::Base.erb_variable, binding) << string
      end

      # If +text+ is longer than +length+, +text+ will be truncated to the length of 
      # +length+ (defaults to 30) and the last characters will be replaced with the +truncate_string+
      # (defaults to "...").
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away", 14)  
      #   # => Once upon a...
      #
      #   truncate("Once upon a time in a world far far away")  
      #   # => Once upon a time in a world f...
      #
      #   truncate("And they found that many people were sleeping better.", 25, "(clipped)")
      #   # => And they found that many (clipped)
      #

      # as a single-quoted string with \1 where the phrase is to be inserted (defaults to
      # '<strong class="highlight">\1</strong>')

      # ==== 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
