+  # ## When to use streaming
   #
-  # \Streaming may be considered to be overkill for lightweight actions like
-  # +new+ or +edit+. The real benefit of streaming is on expensive actions
-  # that, for example, do a lot of queries on the database.
+  # Streaming may be considered to be overkill for lightweight actions like `new`
+  # or `edit`. The real benefit of streaming is on expensive actions that, for

   #
-  # In such actions, you want to delay queries execution as much as you can.
-  # For example, imagine the following +dashboard+ action:
+  # In such actions, you want to delay queries execution as much as you can. For
+  # example, imagine the following `dashboard` action:
   #
-  #   def dashboard
-  #     @posts = Post.all
-  #     @pages = Page.all
-  #     @articles = Article.all
-  #   end

+  #       @pages = Page.all
+  #       @articles = Article.all
+  #     end
   #
   # Most of the queries here are happening in the controller. In order to benefit
   # from streaming you would want to rewrite it as:
   #
-  #   def dashboard
-  #     # Allow lazy execution of the queries
-  #     @posts = Post.all
-  #     @pages = Page.all
-  #     @articles = Article.all

+  #       @pages = Page.all
+  #       @articles = Article.all
+  #       render stream: true

-  # Notice that +:stream+ only works with templates. \Rendering +:json+
-  # or +:xml+ with +:stream+ won't work.

+  # with the layout, and the template is rendered later, when its `yield` is
+  # reached.
   #
-  # This means that, if your application currently relies on instance
-  # variables set in the template to be used in the layout, they won't
-  # work once you move to streaming. The proper way to communicate
-  # between layout and template, regardless of whether you use streaming
-  # or not, is by using +content_for+, +provide+, and +yield+.

-  #   Hello
+  #     <%= content_for :title, "Main" %>
+  #     Hello

-  # This means that, if you have <code>yield :title</code> in your layout

   # Phusion Passenger with NGINX, offers two streaming mechanisms out of the box.
   #
-  # 1. NGINX response buffering mechanism which is dependent on the value of
-  #    +passenger_buffer_response+ option (default is "off").
-  # 2. Passenger buffering system which is always 'on' irrespective of the value
-  #    of +passenger_buffer_response+.

+  #     of `passenger_buffer_response`.
   #
-  # When +passenger_buffer_response+ is turned "on", then streaming would be
-  # done at the NGINX level which waits until the application is done sending
-  # the response back to the client.
