How can I use views and layouts with Ruby and ERB (not Rails)?

Today i\'m using this code to render my view:

def render(template_path, context = sel

Since you tagged it with Sinatra I assume that you us Sinatra.

By default you view is rendered in your default layout called layout.erb

get "/" do
   erb :index
end

This renders your view index with the default layout.

If you need multiple layouts you can specify them.

get "/foo" do
   erb :index, :layout => :nameofyourlayoutfile
end

* If you don't use Sinatra you may want to borrow the code from there.
