title: How do I extract Rails view helpers into a gem?
body: <p>I have a set of rails view helpers that I use regularly, and would like to package them up into a gem, such that I could just put a line in my Gemfile, and have the helpers accessible from my views.</p>
  
  <p>I have created gems before using Bundler, and Jeweler, however, I'm not all all clear on how to organize the Rails view helpers in a gem, and include them into rails.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate any pointers, or links to up-to-date tutorials on how to do this for Rails 3</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Just to clarify:  The question isn't on "how to create a gem".  Its "how to package view helpers in a gem, so I can use them in Rails"</p>
  
  <p>Edit 2:
  I also agree with the poster below..  A rails engine is waay too much overkill for this kind of (hopefully simple) requirement</p>
