I don't have a single scaffolded view left. We've already had that discussion at some point, so I'll be short about it: Scaffolding is mainly a useful tool for prototyping which explains why you haven't got any scaffold views left. Its usefulness for production is further limited by the (transient) i18n problem. > -- the idea of rendering HTML to a stream isn't necessarily a very good > one, as you can't render out of order, and juggling string streams > isn't always what you want to do, Got an example, or a more detailed scenario explanation? > Oh, and a hint.
