Hey,
I was trying to set a class on the <body> of a parent layout from an intermediate layout. As variables set in a content_for :parent do foo = 42 end don't reach the parent layout, I ended up using the content_for string overload (content_for :class, "page-xyz" and querying it through content_for(@item, :class) in the parent layout). As it internally appends to some ERB/Haml buffer, this works for string variables.
How about generalizing it so one could pass all Ruby types through this mechanism?
This with Nanoc v4.10.1.
