  1. In your views do something like this:

    <% content_for :title, 'Title for specific page' %> <!-- or --> <h1><%= content_for(:title, 'Title for specific page') %></h1>

    The following goes in the layout file:

    <head>   <title><%= yield(:title) %></title>   <!-- Additional header tags here --> </head> <body>   <!-- If all pages contain a headline tag, it's preferable to put that in the layout file too -->   <h1><%= yield(:title) %></h1> </body>

    It’s also possible to encapsulate the content_for and yield(:title) statements in helper methods (as others have already suggested). However, in simple cases such as this one I like to put the necessary code directly into the specific views without custom helpers.
