I think I solved it. It needs 2 more files than I think it should...
but it's better than a N-level if/switch statement.
index.html.erb:
<% content_for :page_title, "Support" %>
<%= render :partial => "help_document_listing", :layout =>
"help_document_layout" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "controllers/supportController" %>
show.html.erb:
<% content_for :page_title, "Support: #{@help_document.question}"
%>
<% content_for :body_id, "normalBody" %>
<%= render :partial => "help_document_view", :layout =>
"help_document_layout" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "controllers/supportController" %>
_help_document_layout.html.erb:
<div id="help">
<h2>Have a Question You Need Answered?</h2>
<div id="helpCategories">
<h3>Categories</h3>
<ul>
<li><%= link_to "Most Popular", support_path %></li>
<%= render :partial => "help_category", :collection =>
@help_categories %>
</ul>
</div>
<%= yield %>
<p id="nevermind">
<b>Can't find what you're looking for?</b><br/>
<%= link_to "Contact our support team", contact_webpage_path
%>
and we'll personally get back to you as quickly as we can.
</p>
</div>
This way the partial that belongs to 'index' or 'show' gets put into
the <%= yield %>, which is exactly what I had in mind.
My only beef with this solution is that you need to put the page's
content in a partial... when it would be better to put it on the page
itself. That's unfortunate.
