  # Nanoc::Helpers::Render provides functionality for rendering layouts as
  # partials.
  module Render

    # Returns a string containing the rendered given layout.
    #
    # +name_or_path+:: the name or the path of the layout that should be
    #                  rendered.
    #
    # +other_assigns+:: a hash containing assigns that will be made available
    #                   as instance variables.
    #
    # Example 1: a layout 'head' with content "HEAD" and a layout 'foot' with
    # content "FOOT":
    #
    #   <%= render 'head' %> - MIDDLE - <%= render 'foot' %>
    #   # => "HEAD - MIDDLE - FOOT" 
    #
    # Example 2: a layout named 'head' with content "<h1><%= @title %></h1>":
    #
    #   <%= render 'head', :title => 'Foo' %>
    #   # => "<h1>Foo</h1>"
