how can I avoid to interpret some code within a rhtml? I need to show in  
a  
web page, the form helper code I’m using, but the page is actually  
rendering  
it

I tried using CDATA but it didn’t work (or don’t know how to use it  
correctly)

Thanks in advance  
Rodrigo

CDATA is a browser thing. erb will ignore it.

something like

\<% some code %\>

should work
