+      # If your template cache depends on multiple sources (try to avoid this to keep things simple),
+      # you can name all these dependencies as part of an array:
+      #
+      #   <% cache [ project, current_user ] do %>

+      # This will include both records as part of the cache key and updating either of them will

+      #
+      # ==== Template digest
+      #
+      # The template digest that's added to the cache key is computed by taking an md5 of the
+      # contents of the entire template file. This ensures that your caches will automatically
+      # expire when you change the template file.
+      #
+      # Note that the md5 is taken of the entire template file, not just what's within the
+      # cache do/end call. So it's possible that changing something outside of that call will
+      # still expire the cache.
+      #
+      # Additionally, the digestor will automatically look through your template file for
+      # explicit and implicit dependencies, and include those as part of the digest.
+      #
+      # ==== Implicit dependencies
+      #
+      # Most template dependencies can be derived from calls to render in the template itself.
+      # Here are some examples of render calls that Cache Digests knows how to decode:
+      #   
+      #   render partial: "comments/comment", collection: commentable.comments
+      #   render "comments/comments"
+      #   render 'comments/comments'
+      #   render('comments/comments')
+      #   
+      #   render "header" => render("comments/header")
+      #   
+      #   render(@topic)         => render("topics/topic")
+      #   render(topics)         => render("topics/topic")
+      #   render(message.topics) => render("topics/topic")
+      #   
+      # It's not possible to derive all render calls like that, though. Here are a few examples of things that can't be derived:
+      #   
+      #   render group_of_attachments
+      #   render @project.documents.where(published: true).order('created_at')
+      #   
+      # You will have to rewrite those to the explicit form:
+      #   
+      #   render partial: 'attachments/attachment', collection: group_of_attachments
+      #   render partial: 'documents/document', collection: @project.documents.where(published: true).order('created_at')
+      #
+      # === Explicit dependencies
+      # 
+      # Some times you'll have template dependencies that can't be derived at all. This is typically
+      # the case when you have template rendering that happens in helpers. Here's an example:
+      # 
+      #   <%= render_sortable_todolists @project.todolists %>
+      # 
+      # You'll need to use a special comment format to call those out:
+      # 
+      #   <%# Template Dependency: todolists/todolist %>
+      #   <%= render_sortable_todolists @project.todolists %>
+      # 
+      # The pattern used to match these is /# Template Dependency: ([^ ]+)/, so it's important that you type it out just so.
+      # You can only declare one template dependency per line.
+      #
+      # === External dependencies
+      #
+      # If you use a helper method, for example, inside of a cached block and you then update that helper,
+      # you'll have to bump the cache as well. It doesn't really matter how you do it, but the md5 of the template file
+      # must change. One recommendation is to simply be explicit in a comment, like:
+      #
+      #   <%# Helper Dependency Updated: May 6, 2012 at 6pm %>
+      #   <%= some_helper_method(person) %>
+      #
+      # Now all you'll have to do is change that timestamp when the helper method changes.
