Rails 3 - Ideal way to set title of pages

Question

Whats the proper way to set the page title in rails 3. Currently I\'m doing the following:

app/views/layouts/application.html:

Answer 1

you could a simple helper:

def title(page_title)
  content_for :title, page_title.to_s
end

use it in your layout:

<title><%= yield(:title) %></title>

then call it from your templates:

<% title "Your custom title" %>

hope this helps ;)
