I want to generate a few tags wrapped with a single helper method. For  
example, I want to generate 5 text\_fields by calling a helper method.  
Can I do that? As far as I know, you can only render once in the  
helper method (I have tried it and only one or none render method  
takes effect.) For example, I use a loop contains a text\_field\_tag  
method in the helper. It doesn’t work properly. Only one  
text\_field\_tag appears. The way I use to solve this problem is put 5  
text\_fields in a partial template and use helper method to call the  
partial. But the partial is a little ugly because it has some loops  
there. How to solve this problem? Any suggestions?
