module ActionView
  module Helpers #:nodoc:
    # The TextHelper module provides a set of methods for filtering, formatting
    # and transforming strings, which can reduce the amount of inline Ruby code in
    # your views. These helper methods extend ActionView making them callable
    # within your template files.
    module TextHelper
      # The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the
      # <%= "text" %> eRuby syntax. The regular _puts_ and _print_ methods
      # do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must
      # output text within a non-output code block (i.e., <% %>), you can use the concat method.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   <%
      #       concat "hello"
      #       # is the equivalent of <%= "hello" %>
      #
      #       if (logged_in == true):
      #         concat "Logged in!"
