Rails: How to change the title of a page?

Question

What is the best way to create a custom title for pages in a Rails app without using a plug-in?

Answer 1

I use nifty_generator's "nifty_layout" which provides with a title variable which I can call then on the page using:

<% title "Title of page" %>

I can also user <% title "Title of page", false %> to have the title just show in browser title and not in the page itself.
