vidarh discovered 4 months ago- From the page: "It's bothered me for some time to hardcode URLs in my views. It means that if I want to revise the linking structure, I may need to modify the views in a huge number of places. At the same time I don't like the thought of putting it in the model either. In the entry Enforcing Strict Model-View Separation in Template Engines I point to an interview with, and a paper by, Terence Parr that articulated this issue much better than I had fleshed it out in my mind. He also proposed a solution: Introduce an extra layer - Renderers - that turn model objects or attributes into a displayable format. An example might be formatting a date string the appropriate way."
