Possible to create a "wrapping" partial?

Question

I have a lot of views that have the exact same code in the beginning and the end of each document.

Is there any way in Rails to avoid this duplication?

how about `yield`? http://stackoverflow.com/a/7512612/1047207 — RAJ, Aug 27 '14 at 16:11
Both of your suggestions might be working, but I have done a lot of research and haven't understood how to put things together. — Fellow Stranger, Aug 27 '14 at 16:14
You can put it all in the `app/views/layouts/application.html` if they're totally common, or put head/foot partials in `app/views/share`, for example. — lurker, Aug 27 '14 at 16:16
@lurker That's true, doing two partials top/bottom would work. — Fellow Stranger, Aug 27 '14 at 16:18

The information is kind of hard to find, but this is covered in the "Rendering partials with layouts" section of the partials documentation. Basically when you do render partial: ... you can use the layout: option to give the name of the "wrapper" layout. The partial will be rendered within the wrapper wherever you put <%= yield %>.
