Sorry for such a late response here. Just reading through posts I'd missed
while away and came across this.

This need is one of the main reasons that drove me to create my
Vars/Conditionals Extension. In my case I had a series of wrapper divs that
made up rounded boxes on my site. There were several variations, and some
had different content inside and/or unique classes that needed to be
applied. It seemed wrong to have 30 different snippets that were all
variations on the same theme.
My goal was to make snippets more like rails helpers or partials -- which
meant that you needed to be able to pass (and then process) arguments.
I even wrote a special modification to the <r:snippet> tag for this very
reason (though it's not technically necessary)
In the body you'd add:
<r:snippet name="box" vars="content:text to fill" />
<r:snippet name="box" vars="content:second text to fill" />
Then in the snippet, you'd add:
<div class="foo">....
<r:puts value_for="vars[content]" />
</div>
If you want to get fancy, you can also pass multiple, optional parameters,
like:
<r:snippet name="box" vars="content: 'text to fill'; id: myId" />
and:
<div class="foo"<r:if cond="vars[id]> id="<r:puts value_for="vars[id]"
/>"</r:if>>
<r:puts value_for="vars[content]" />
</div>
In this case your snippet adds the id tag to your div IF you include a value
for it.
Feel free to download the extension and try it out:

Hope this helps!
