Masterview devel - Jul 2006 - Created a first version of the interactive parsing/rendering admin page

I created a first version of the interactive rendering/parsing admin page
and committed. It currently lives off the main admin page with a link called
Interactive Render. Clicking on that takes you to a page where you can type
in some MV html and click render will show you on the same page below all
the rhtml that it would render.

I also created some sample that show up on the left side bar which if you
click on them, they populate the text area and submit showing you the
render. You can then edit the sample and re-render.

We can probably dress things up a little and include more description in the
page, but I wanted to at least get something up so you could see what I had
in mind and we could flush it out further.

The samples currently live in extras/sample_templates.rb (I couldn''t
decide
on the best place to put this so if you have a better idea we can move it).

The syntax of the sample_templates.rb isn''t the greatest (might be able
to
improve it), but it allows one to create categories of examples, and then in
each category, a hash of examples each with a description and the template
text. We can put examples for each of the directives and some common usage
patterns in there.

I need to still improve handling of bad template text but otherwise it is
functional.

Let me know what you think.
