thanks!
i was excited to clean up my helpers with content_tag, but ran into this very problem.

oscar, it is all about aesthetics — isn’t that why we all love ruby ;-P
anything non-trivial is way nicer looking like this:

cell += content_tag :tr do
content_tag :td do
“hello world”
end
end

apply this to more complicated tabular data your spitting out in a view helper, seems beneficial

Actually just after posting my question I find a better solution.

There is no need to overide content_tag. In your code you can just write :
content_tag(name, capture(&block), options)

1- Do you have an example of where do you put exactly the new definition of contag_tag.

I’ve tried but got:
private method `content_tag_string’ called for #:0xb781d20c>

If you want to build HTML like that, you should look at Markaby.

Thanks for this fix - I just ran into the same problem.

I wonder if it could be tweaked a little more. I wrote up an explanation here http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/101460 I’d really like to help out, but my Ruby skills are a bit lacking.
