Rails - Jan 2006 - Liquid templates and forms

I have started to experiment with Liquid templates and all goes fine as long
as I just display my stuff.

But I want to get user input (using forms), and I couldn''t figure out
so far
whether and how liquid facilitates the use of forms, something like the form
helper tags in .rhtml.

Anybody knows about that ?

I think you have to do the forms long hand, ie. use normal HTML instead 
of using helpers! It would be great if they could use helpers, maybe it 
can be patched?

The one trouble I had was I wanted to use liquid but not keep the 
templates in the database. It seems you can''t have layout and views
like
erb, just one file with everything.

I actually is pretty simple to create nice liquid wrappers, take a look at
mephisto which has a wrapper for  a weblog user-comments form
