ruby/rails block content problem

i wont to create simple tabs helper for dynamic tabs creation. Something like form_for rails helper.

Here what i have for now (simplified for example ):

class Tabs

    attr_reader :tabs, :type, :subtype, :args

    def initialize(*args)

      @tabs    = []
      @type    = args[0] || 'horizontal'
      @subtype = args[1] || 'basic'
      @args    = args.extract_options!
    end


    def tab(*args, &block)
      tab          ={}
      tab[:name]   =args[0]
      tab[:content]= capture(&block)
      #same thing with with_output_buffer(&block)
      args         = args.extract_options!
      tab          = args.merge(tab)
      @tabs << tab

    end


  end



  def tabs_navigation(*args, & block)
    tabs_constructor = Tabs.new(args)
    capture(tabs_constructor, & block)

    #iteration of tabs hash array and building tabs structure goes here
    #tabs_constructor.tabs.each bla,bla

end

in the view

 <%= tabs_navigation do |tabs| %>
        <% tabs.tab :tab1 do %>
            tab1
        <% end %>
        <% tabs.tab :tab2 do %>
            tab2
        <% end %>
         <% tabs.tab :tab3 do %>
            tab3
        <% end %>
    <% end %>

Everything works ok, except content for tabs is somehow joined like this:

content for tab1 is: :content=>"\n            tab1\n"
content for tab2 is: :content=>"\n            tab1\n            tab2\n"
content for tab3 is: :content=>"\n            tab1\n            tab2\n            tab3\n"

I'm new one and ruby blocks is something that i haven't to much experiences.

Can someone explain to me, what's going here and how to catch content of tab block?

Using ruby 1.9.2

Thanks

UPDATE

i try this from ruby:

class Foo
  attr_reader :arr
  def initialize
     @arr = []
  end

  def bar
    hash = {}
    hash[:content] = yield
    @arr << hash
  end
end

def FooBars
  foo = Foo.new
  yield foo
  puts foo.arr
end


FooBars do |fo|
  fo.bar do
    'bar1'
  end
  fo.bar do
    'bar2'
  end
end

end it works as expected. The problem/bug is in the rails view/erb blocks.. Can anybody help me with this?

thanks

If you look closely at your blocks you should see that all those characters being captured are there.

This can be approached in a few ways, here is one:

<%= tabs_navigation do |tabs| %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab1 do %>tab1<% end %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab2 do %>tab2<% end %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab3 do %>tab3<% end %>
<% end %>

I think this will only strip the first newline:

<%= tabs_navigation do |tabs| %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab1 do -%>
        tab1
    <% end %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab2 do -%>
        tab2
    <% end %>
    <% tabs.tab :tab3 do -%>
        tab3
    <% end %>
<% end %>

Personally, I'd probably just call strip() on the value returned by yield though
