Have you ever wanted to visually line up items in rows and columns? The in_groups_of method makes this a cinch. Just watch out for the gotcha.
<!-- tasks/index.rhtml -->
<table>
<% @tasks.in_groups_of(4, false) do |row_tasks| %>
<tr>
<% for task in row_tasks %>
<td><%= task.name %></td>
<% end %>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
