Hi all,

I am pretty new at Ruby and, as such, I am full of questions and
wonderments. The latest one, which I can't figure it out is this: how does
the "layout" method works (in Ruby terms) in a typical Rails controller,
such as this

class MyController < ApplicationController
  layout("my_layout")
end

I am a bit clueless, but I thought it worked as the "layout" method is
defined somewhere along the inheritance hierarchy (perhaps at
ActionController:Base). However, when I try to replicate it by creating a
method on ApplicationController and making a similar call (also outside of a
method scope), it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Paulo
