In general, you have to use a template specifically made to output the 
frames how you want them. (I'm sure a template could be made that output 
both styles, but I don't know if rdoc supports an option to specify that 
or not.)

The rdoc template I use to generate the documentation for my projects 
(http://copland.rubyforge.org/api, http://needle.rubyforge.org/api, 
http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org, etc.) is available online, at:

   http://ruby.jamisbuck.org/jamis.rb

Just save that file in the rdoc/generators/template/html subdirectory of 
your ruby library directory, and then specificy --template=jamis to use 
it. (Assuming you _want_ to use it, of course. ;))
