Plz ignore. Attempting to get formatting right

I'm having trouble getting my comments to format properly on Lighthouse. I'm using this ticket & comments to try to get it right.

cond_string = big computation 
order_string = bigger computation 
join_string = biggest computation

Venue.all(:joins => join_string, :conditions => cond_string, :order => order_string)

Without, I'm stuck with:

cond_string = big computation 
order_string = bigger computation 
join_string = biggest computation

options = {} options[:conditions] = cond_string unless cond_string.empty? 
options[:order] = order_string unless order_string.empty? 
options[:joins] = join_string unless join_string.empty?

Venue.all(options)

Unless I "really shouldn't" pass in an empty options string, either.
