hello I''m looking for something similar to the "echo" PHP function for ruby. in some situation I don''t like to write code like this: <% if condition %> <%= "<p>this is an example</p>" %> <% end %> I prefer write this: <% if condition echo "<p>this is an example</p>" end %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

> I''m looking for something similar to the "echo" PHP function for ruby. > in some situation I don''t like to write code like this:I''m not sure you can. Have a look at: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Base.html This isn''t really a huge problem though as most logic should be kept out of the templates. You can also use inline conditions for cleaner code: <%= "My Stuff" if my_condition %> This method can be used to render parts of the page based on controller determined logic: <%= render(:partial => "user/dashboard") if @show_dashboard %> Hope that helps, Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You only have to use <%= %> for dynamic content. But you can use concat IIRC: <% if condition concat "<p>this is an example</p>" end %> Then you can replace the static HTML above by dynamic content.
