Rails - Apr 2005 - equivalent to <%= ... %>

What statement is equivalent to <%= ... %>? render_text? printf?

Gábor

Quoting from API docs:

concat(string, binding)

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 %>. Notice that it
doesn''t
have an equal sign in front. Using <%= concat "hello" %> would
result
in a double hello.

Thank you! I''ve asked and seen this question asked on the IRC channel 4
times, and each time the answer was "You must use <%= ... %>".
It''s
nice to know that there IS a way.

Does anyone know why puts and print couldn''t be aliased to append to
the _erbout variable that is in the current scope?  That way you could
stick puts and print in the middle of your <% %> code.
