Lets say I create a custom tag in an extension: \<r:foo /\>

I want that tag to basically wrap some HTML around an existing radius  
tag. In non working psuedo code:

tag ‘foo’ do  
“Foo title: \<r:title /\>”  
end

In this contrived example, I could just use the ruby objects available  
to the tag, but I want to encapsulate more complex radius tags. Things  
like \<r:navigation\> for instance.

There has to be a simple way to do this, I just can’t quite figure out  
the syntax.

Alex,

“Foo title: #{render\_tag(‘title’)}” should work.

Thanks I think I found it here:  
[http://github.com/seancribbs/radiant/tree/master/radiant/app/models/page\_context.rb#L14](http://github.com/seancribbs/radiant/tree/master/radiant/app/models/page_context.rb#L14)

I should be able to add attributes and content to the tag with a hash  
and black right?

render\_tag(‘foobar’, :baz =\> ‘asdf’) do  
“Tag content”  
end

Thansk for the help!
