Rails - Nov 2004 - Using sub-layouts

After previous advice from this list, I''ve chosen with using a variety
of layouts to generate different views based on a user''s state
(logged-in etc.).

However there''s certain parts of these layouts that are common to all
or some. Anyone want to offer an opinion on the best way to do
"sub-layouts"?

Real sublayouts are still on the wishlist. Until then, the next best 
thing would be render() and/or render_partial().

binarycloud (http://www.binarycloud.com) has a fairly nice rendering 
engine that allows for arbitrary layout nesting. It''s written in PHP 
and everything else about the system is the antithesis of rails, but 
it''s still worth a look if we''re in the "passing around
ideas" stage.
