I'm trying to learn Rails better by looking at example applications, and while looking at this line of the source of railscasts.com, I noticed it does this:

<div class="episodes">
    <%= render @episodes %>
  </div>

What exactly is going on here? Why isn't this documented on the render function? Or is it?
