about.html.erb supplies a title string to application.html.erb, yet application.hrml.erb uses yeild to obtain page content from about.html.erb does this involve some two pass trickery, or failing that what happens here plse?
application.html.erb
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><%= full_title(yield(:title)) %></title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all",
"data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
