+app_helpers
+===========
+
+A collection of useful Rails application helpers and rake tasks.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Add app_helper submodule
+
+	git submodule add git://github.com:winton/app_helpers.git vendor/plugins/app_helpers
+	
+Copy resources (**app/views/app_helpers**)
+
+	rake app_helpers
+
+
+Rake Tasks
+----------
+
+### app_helpers
+
+Installs **app/views/app_helpers**, which includes a few partials required by `Tbl` and `Template`.
+
+### db:config
+
+Prompts for a database name and generates **config/database.yml** for you.
+
+### git:submodule
+
+Runs `git:submodule:update`, and `git:submodule:pull`.
+
+#### git:submodule:update
+
+	git submodule init
+	git submodule update
+
+#### git:submodule:pull
+
+Finds submodules in **app/widgets**, **config**, and **vendor/plugins** and runs
+
+	git checkout master
+	git pull
+
+on each.
+
+
+Partials
+--------
+
+### Method: `block_to_partial(partial_name, options = {}, &block)`
+
+Sends the output of a block to a partial as the local variable `body`.
+
+Example:
+
+	= block_to_partial 'some_partial', :locals => { :x => 0 } do
+	  Two local variables will be sent to the partial; 'x' (0) and 'body' (this text).
+
+
+### Method: `script_tag_redirect_to(url)`
+
+Renders an HTML javascript tag with the code `window.location=url`.
+
+
+Tbl
+---
+
+### Method: `tbl(type, name, unit=:px, *widths, &block)`
+
+Uses the partials in **app/views/app_helpers/tbl** to generate CSS tables (rows of content with specific column widths).
+
+Include the following in your site-wide SASS:
+
+	.row
+	  :overflow hidden
+	  .parent
+	    :float left
+	    :display block
+
+The view:
+
+	- tbl :row, :your_identifier, :px, 100, 200, 300 do
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 1, Cell 1
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 1, Cell 2
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 1, Cell 3
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 2, Cell 1
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 2, Cell 2
+	  - tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
+	    Row 2, Cell 3
+
+*Note*: Change `:px` to `'%'` for percentage widths.
+
+See [rails_widget](https://github.com/winton/rails_widget) for a javascript implementation of Tbl.
+
+
+Truncate
+--------
+
+### Method: `better_truncate(text, length = 80, truncate_string = "...")`
+
+Like `truncate`, but does the job without cutting words in half.
