4 module Helpers #:nodoc:
5 # The TextHelper module provides a set of methods for filtering, formatting
6 # and transforming strings, which can reduce the amount of inline Ruby code in
7 # your views. These helper methods extend ActionView making them callable
8 # within your template files.
9 module TextHelper
10 # The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the
11 # <%= "text" %> eRuby syntax. The regular _puts_ and _print_ methods
12 # do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must
13 # output text within a non-output code block (i.e., <% %>), you can use the concat method.
14 #
15 # ==== Examples
16 # <%
17 # concat "hello"
18 # # is the equivalent of <%= "hello" %>
19 #
20 # if (logged_in == true):
21 # concat "Logged in!"
22 # else
23 # concat link_to('login', :action => login)
24 # end
25 # # will either display "Logged in!" or a login link
26 # %>
