Helpers

Currently the following helpers are included:

`title(partial = nil, separator = ' | ')`

Store page title partials and render them in your layout.

# view:
<% title('Article XY') %>

# layout:
<title><%= title('My Site') %></title>
# renders:
<title>Article XY | My Site</title>

Parameters:

partial (String|Array) — Partial page title
path (String) — Separator used to join partials

`body_class(partial = nil)`

Store CSS classes for the body tag and render them in your layout. Includes the controller name by default.

# view:
<% body_class('important') %>

# layout:
<body class="<%= body_class %>

# given the current controller is the ArticlesController, renders:
<body class="articles foo">

Parameters:

partial (String|Array) — Classes

`html_tag(attrs = {}, &block)`

Renders conditional tags around the <html> tag for IE as suggested by Paul Irish and used in the HTML5 boilerplate.

If Haml is used a block can be passed to wrap the rest of the page.

<%= html_tag(:lang => 'en') %>
# renders:
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->

Parameters:

attrs (Hash) — Additonal HTML attributes
