It would be nice to be able to use blocks when rendering templates, similar
to partial layouts.
With partial layouts, the following is possible (with
`layouts/_special.html.erb`):
<%= render layout: "layouts/special" do %>
<foo>...</foo>
<% end %>
This requires the layout to be a _partial_ layout. It would be convenient
however to have the same option when rendering any template:
<%= render template: "layouts/application" do %>
<div class="foo-wrap"><%= yield %></div>
<% end %>
The most obvious use case is creating a layout file adding some extra
structure in the main content area of the application layout. This would
seem to be a cleaner solution to nested layouts[1], since the application
layout need not be changed. (The chaining/subtemplating considerations
described in the guide would be unnecessary.)
Thoughts?
Best,
Johannes
