I have seen a number of examples where HTML code is treated as a Ruby
block. For example, here is one taken from the Agile Rails book:

<% content_for( :sidebar) do %>
  <ul>
      <li>this text will be rendered</li>
      <li>and saved for later</li>
      <li>it may contain <%= "dynamic" %> stuff</li>
 </ul>
<% end %>

I have no idea how this works.  Can someone please give me a clue as
to how this works?  Additionally (and this is what I am really trying
to do) I'm wondering if there isn't some way I could use this approach
to display a block of HTML code conditionally.  Any ideas?

Thanks for any input.
