Hi All,

In Ryan B. screencast episode 80 ([Ruby on Rails Screencasts - RailsCasts](http://railscasts.com/episodes/)  
80) on simplifying views in rails he mentions that

\<% render :partial =\>‘product’ , :collection =\> @products %\> and \<%  
render :partial =\>‘product’ , :object =\> @product %\>

can now be written as

\<%= render :partial =\> @products %\> and \<%= render :partial =\>  
@product %\> respectively.

He also says that \<%form\_for :product, :url → products\_path do |f|  
%\> and \<%form\_for :product, :url =\>product\_path(@product), :html =\>  
{:method =\> ‘put’} do |f| %\>

can now both be written

\<% form\_for @product do |f| %\>

Can anyone tell me where this is documented since the api only  
mentions the old ways as far as I can see unless I am looking in the  
wrong place.

Many thanks

Anthony
