there must be a nicer way to do this

gistfile1.rb

# updated solution

#in the view
= render :partial => "element", :collection => @elements

#in the partial
- if element_counter % 2 == 1
  .break



# vs.
- i = 0
- @elements.each do |element|
  = render element
  - if i % 2 == 1
    .break
  - i += 1

There must be a nicer way to add an element every X number of iterations of a partial collection
