[Rails] Re: Referencing a Layout

I don't think that it is. What I'm trying to do is to come up with a
mechanism that will allow the consumers to do their own layout work.

That is clearly the preferred approach. However, it is also the most
labor intensive. I see the external layout approach as a lower
quality alternative that might be acceptable in some circumstances.
One of its big advantages is that (but for problematic issue of
reading the layout from the contents of a variable) it is extremely
easy to implement. I just wish that there were some sort of easy work
around other than taking the brute force tact of writing the data to a
temp file and then reading it from there.

Thanks for the input.
