We’re supposed to use yield instead of @content\_for\_layout, but I can’t  
get yield to work in a Markaby template:

yield

text yield

Either one of these lines results in a ‘no block given’ error (but ‘text  
@content\_for\_layout’ works). Anybody know how to use yield instead?

Thanks,  
Joe

Use content\_for\_layout method.

I use yield all the time:  
\<%= yield %\>

I’m on Rails 1.2.3 and Ruby 1.8.5 – maybe your version is the issue  
(as I recall, ‘yield’ is the newer, preferred method).
