hi!
is there some way to make this work:
<% def foo %>
some stuff which should be displayed
<% end %>
..
<%= foo %>?
First problem: in your example, foo doesn't return a string. It would try to print "some stuff which..." to whatever output is being used (on a webserver, the socket). So using <%= tags aren't nessesary.
Second problem: because of the way that output is managed, the scope inside foo() can't see the output handler. Therefore, you get an error.
Solution:
####### code:
-- define foo
<% foo = lambda do %>
some stuff which should be displayed
<% end %>
-- now, test foo:
<% foo.call %>
-- test foo again:
<% foo %>
####### output:
-- define foo
-- now, test foo:
some stuff which should be displayed
-- test foo again:
some stuff which should be displayed
thanks!
ciao!

Isn't lambda a deprecated keyword, by the way? I remember reading
something like that on this list.

No, it's proc keyword which is deprecated.

To be utterly pedantic, proc and lambda aren't keywords: they're
regular method names.

Kernel#proc is deprecated, because it is different from Proc.new, which causes confusion. Kernel#proc is an alias (effectively, if not actually) for Kernel#lambda. The exact differences have been discussed elsewhere on the list.

regular method names.
