That pattern seems like a sufficiently good paradigm that some sort of
convention should be created to do this. Perhaps
tag "my_tag" do |tag|
@my_tag_data = MyModel.find_by_name(tag.attr['name'])
tag.render
end
end
would automatically use view/tags/my_tag.haml.html or something similar.

David, I still use that code in my extensions today (though I'd be
interested to hear if anyone out there has come up with something
better).
Now that Haml is built into Radiant, it would also be safe to
convert to using that for your templates (it might be even easier to
do the binding bit but I haven't tried yet).

Chris Parrish's solution to rendering partials within a Radius tag
works
great. It's been almost a year since he posted it though, and I was
wondering if this functionality should be done a different way now --
i.e. does Radiant has a built-in way to handle this now?
Thanks,

This obviously isn't full-on rails parsing so it doesn't auto-mixin
helpers or anything fancy like that (I suppose I could require
ActiveView::Base or some such thing) but I didn't need that much
capability.
