Is there a simple way to format your data in the .rhtml file? I come from a PHP/Smarty background, and in the templates, I''ve used what is called "modifiers" to format data. {$price|currency_format} # displays in currency format {$description|truncate:"100"} # Truncates the description after 100 characters It seems like the template (rhtml) would be the ideal
