even more telling would be a giant xml configuration document like that for JBoss where I need to make add a parameter at the beginning and another at the end. In between the beginning and end are 300 lines of boilerplate :/. I would be able to DRY up that template by including the middle section as a partial, resulting in a much more readable and maintainable template

Is there any plan to add Rails-style partials to Chef?

In my mind they would be incredibly useful, particularly for giant XML configuration documents where 95% is boilerplate but the remaining 95% is heavily customized for each application
