capture(*args, &block) public

The capture method allows you to extract part of a template into a variable. You can then use this variable anywhere in your templates or layout.

Examples

The capture method can be used in ERb templates… 

  <% @greeting = capture do %>
    Welcome to my shiny new web page!  The date and time is
    <%= Time.now %>
  <% end %>

…and Builder (RXML) templates. 

  @timestamp = capture do
    "The current timestamp is #{Time.now}."
  end

You can then use that variable anywhere else. For example: 

  <html>
  <head><title><%= @greeting %></title></head>
  <body>
  <b><%= @greeting %></b>
  </body></html>
