The "rails helpers" were ported from Ruby on Rails. I've never used
Rails so I don't know how closely they match the originals, and of
course they've been modified over time.
The rails helpers are all in webhelpers.rails (though Pylons 0.9.7
applications should import them from webhelpers.rails.wrapped due to
the escaping issue). But the rails helpers were all deprecated en
masse in WebHelpers 0.6, and replaced by new helpers in
webhelpers.html.tags, webhelpers.text, etc.
Rails helpers are often named with suffixes like "_tag", "_to", etc.
The new helpers generally do not have these suffixes:
stylesheet_link_tag -> stylesheet_link
text_field -> text
radio_button -> radio
However, a few of the new helpers do keep the suffix:
link_to -> link_to
