In one of my views I have this code:
<%=content_tag :h2, :header do-%>
<%=yield(:page_title).html_safe?-%>
<%=yield(:page_title).titleize-%>
<%- end -%>
Which displays:
true A Boy &Amp; His Dog
However this code:
<%=content_tag :h2, :header do-%>
<%=yield(:page_title).html_safe?-%>
<%=yield(:page_title).capitalize-%>
<%- end -%>
displays:
true A boy & his dog
Is this behaviour of titleize intentional? I want to titleize ''a dog
&
his boy'' and preserve the & character in the final display.

Character entities are case sensitive so this screws things up.

I did not think to do that because our practice is to apply styling methods at the moment of display. On this page I can change that without difficulty but on others, as the text is sometimes used in multiple places on a page, I may not be so fortunate as in this example. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
