  # Action View templates can be written in three ways. If the template file has a +.rhtml+ extension then it uses a mixture of ERb 
  # (included in Ruby) and HTML. If the template file has a +.rxml+ extension then Jim Weirich's Builder::XmlMarkup library is used. 
  # If the template file has a +.rjs+ extension then it will use ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator.

  # 
  # = ERb
  # 
  # You trigger ERb by using embeddings such as <% %> and <%= %>. The difference is whether you want output or not. Consider the 
  # following loop for names:
  #
  #   <b>Names of all the people</b>
  #   <% for person in @people %>
  #     Name: <%= person.name %><br/>
  #   <% end %>
  #
  # The loop is setup in regular embedding tags (<% %>) and the name is written using the output embedding tag (<%= %>). Note that this
  # is not just a usage suggestion. Regular output functions like print or puts won't work with ERb templates. So this would be wrong:
  #
  #   Hi, Mr. <% puts "Frodo" %>
  #
  # (If you absolutely must write from within a function, you can use the TextHelper#concat)
  #
  # == Using sub templates
  #
  # Using sub templates allows you to sidestep tedious replication and extract common display structures in shared templates. The
  # classic example is the use of a header and footer (even though the Action Pack-way would be to use Layouts):
  #
  #   <%= render "shared/header" %>
  #   Something really specific and terrific
  #   <%= render "shared/footer" %>
  #
  # As you see, we use the output embeddings for the render methods. The render call itself will just return a string holding the
  # result of the rendering. The output embedding writes it to the current template.
  #
  # But you don't have to restrict yourself to static includes. Templates can share variables amongst themselves by using instance
42
  # variables defined using the regular embedding tags. Like this:

  #
  #   <% @page_title = "A Wonderful Hello" %>
  #   <%= render "shared/header" %>
  #
  # Now the header can pick up on the @page_title variable and use it for outputting a title tag:
  #
  #   <title><%= @page_title %></title>
  #
  # == Passing local variables to sub templates
  # 
  # You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:
  #
  #   <%= render "shared/header", { "headline" => "Welcome", "person" => person } %>
  #
  # These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
  #
  #   Headline: <%= headline %>
  #   First name: <%= person.first_name %>
  #
  # == Template caching
  #
64 65
  # By default, Rails will compile each template to a method in order to render it. When you alter a template, Rails will
  # check the file's modification time and recompile it.

  #
  # == JavaScriptGenerator
  #
  # JavaScriptGenerator templates end in +.rjs+. Unlike conventional templates which are used to 
  # render the results of an action, these templates generate instructions on how to modify an already rendered page. This makes it easy to 
  # modify multiple elements on your page in one declarative Ajax response. Actions with these templates are called in the background with Ajax 
  # and make updates to the page where the request originated from.
  # 
  # An instance of the JavaScriptGenerator object named +page+ is automatically made available to your template, which is implicitly wrapped in an ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#update_page block. 
  #
  # When an .rjs action is called with +link_to_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated.  Example:
  #
  #   link_to_remote :url => {:action => 'delete'}
  #
  # The subsequently rendered +delete.rjs+ might look like:
  #
  #   page.replace_html  'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar'
  #   page.remove        "person-#{@person.id}"
  #   page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list' 
  #
  # This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list.
  # 
  # See the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator documentation for more details.
