I don't know how much this helps, but I've learned the hard way that,
when I write
<%= blah :blah, :blah do |x| %>
<% end %>
I get bizarre (and always incorrect) results.
The reason is that <%= ... %> results in a string that gets inserted
into your HTML stream, while <% ... %> results in some Ruby code that
gets executed with no output going to the HTML stream. If the Ruby
code includes a block, then, presumably, that block will output the
HTML stuff you were hoping to output.
