partial layouts + content_tag_for

rubyonrails-core
#1

It appears that the new partial layouts don't work in conjunction with content_tag_for. The call to render with :template doesn't return anything if the template uses content_tag_for.

See this blog post for how I'm trying to use them:
http://opensoul.org/2007/8/3/edge-rails-gets-layouts-for-partials

(note to self, don't blog code snippets that you haven't tested)

After a quick glance at the code, I'm guessing it's due to #render and #content_tag_for using #capture, and a quick informal test shows that nesting capture calls does return nothing.

Would the ideal solution to this be to make capture work with nested calls?

I'm not sure what approach you'd use to make that work, as the capture
helper at present already does some 'funky' stuff. However if you can
make it work, I can't see the harm in such a patch being applied.
