Capture eruby

hi list -

sorry for a new n00b rooby questions, but::

is there a way to capture the output of eruby?
i want a templating parser, but not to the screen, just for my own
capture.

also, on ROR:
i understand helperclass methods are not available in controllers.
where is the recommended ROR place for putting your own classes?

Thanks!
