Hi All!

My sample app uses a ‘main’ layout (specified in application  
controller),  
so my controllers’ views .rhtml template snippets are included in the  
template structure (in the rendered page).  
I would like to filter _only_ this rhtml response part (without  
workarounds) using Rails natural filtering mechanism and filter  
inheritance; not the whole response.body.  
(like at the perl based HTML::Mason framework)  
Any ideas?

Rails v1.2.6

thanks
