In my template, I wrote:

```
<%= f.label 'GnuPlot-Anweisungen:' %>

```

And rails converts this label to

```
Gnuplot anweisungen:

```

How to get rid of this feature?

By the way: this behaviour is hated by german users of MS Office and the  
M$ guys are unable to suppress it 😉

You’re using the label function incorrectly, at least for Rails 2 (not  
sure about Rails 3). Check the docs: the first argument is the object  
ID, then the _next_ argument is the display text.

Oops, thanks for the hint.

Other question:  
Since yesterday [http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/) is upgraded to rails 3, but  
I can’t upgrade now, since my first launching date is in about 2 weeks.

Where to find the old rails 2 doc?

Click the “build your custom package” link (it’s in a very small  
font). Specify the Rails and Ruby version you want the docs for, click  
the appropriate button (Download or Browse online), enjoy!
