This is addressed somewhere in the RDoc, probably in ActionController, although I don't remember offhand. A lot of useful information is in the preamble to each class document, rather than under individual methods. This makes sense when you consider that many of the most commonly used methods in the Rails framework are actually metaprogrammed in or faked with method_missing, so RDoc won't create entries for them. > > Others issues I have is with the ORM framework and the find method.
