Try out your helpers in the Rails console

Ever wanted to try out any of Rails’ view helper methods in the console? Just include ActionView::Helpers after starting the Rails console:

include ActionView::Helpers
# => Object
text_field(:post, :title)
# => "<input id=\"post_title\" name=\"post[title]\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" />"

You can use HTML tags for formatting. Wrap code in <code> tags and multiple lines of code in <pre><code> tags.
