Rails - Apr 2006 - Overring hidden_field_tag ?

Hi, I wonder how to override some tag generators, for example the 
hidden_field_tag function.

By the way, I would be interested to learn how to extend 
ActionView::Base so new functions would be available to all my views 
(functions that need _erbout access, so a simple helper doesn''t...help)

Thanks

Look in the wiki for help on developing your own plugin or look into 
some existing ones.
