Rails - Nov 2006 - How to access TextHelper from Lib?

Hi,

I''ve written a class sitting in a file in the Lib directory and this 
class needs to use strip_tags from TextHelper.  I''ve added

include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper

to the class but Ruby complains that the method strip_tags doesn''t 
exist.  How can I access ActionView methods from a a class in Lib?

Thanks.

Are you trying to call strip_tags from a class or instance context?
If you want to add the helpers as class methods, instead use

     extend ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
