# Renders the content that will be returned to the browser as the response body.
#
# === Rendering an action
#
# Action rendering is the most common form and the type used automatically by Action Controller when nothing else is
# specified. By default, actions are rendered within the current layout (if one exists).
#
# # Renders the template for the action "goal" within the current controller
# render :action => "goal"
#
# # Renders the template for the action "short_goal" within the current controller,
# # but without the current active layout
# render :action => "short_goal", :layout => false
#
# # Renders the template for the action "long_goal" within the current controller,
# # but with a custom layout
# render :action => "long_goal", :layout => "spectacular"
#
# === Rendering partials
#
# Partial rendering in a controller is most commonly used together with Ajax calls that only update one or a few elements on a page
# without reloading. Rendering of partials from the controller makes it possible to use the same partial template in
# both the full-page rendering (by calling it from within the template) and when sub-page updates happen (from the
# controller action responding to Ajax calls). By default, the current layout is not used.
#
# # Renders the same partial with a local variable.
# render :partial => "person", :locals => { :name => "david" }
#
# # Renders the partial, making @new_person available through
# # the local variable 'person'
# render :partial => "person", :object => @new_person
#
# # Renders a collection of the same partial by making each element
# # of @winners available through the local variable "person" as it
# # builds the complete response.
# render :partial => "person", :collection => @winners
#
# # Renders a collection of partials but with a custom local variable name
# render :partial => "admin_person", :collection => @winners, :as => :person
#
# # Renders the same collection of partials, but also renders the
# # person_divider partial between each person partial.
# render :partial => "person", :collection => @winners, :spacer_template => "person_divider"
#
# # Renders a collection of partials located in a view subfolder
# # outside of our current controller. In this example we will be
# # rendering app/views/shared/_note.r(html|xml) Inside the partial
# # each element of @new_notes is available as the local var "note".
# render :partial => "shared/note", :collection => @new_notes
#
# # Renders the partial with a status code of 500 (internal error).
# render :partial => "broken", :status => 500
#
# Note that the partial filename must also be a valid Ruby variable name,
# so e.g. 2005 and register-user are invalid.
#
#
# == Automatic etagging
#
# Rendering will automatically insert the etag header on 200 OK responses. The etag is calculated using MD5 of the
# response body. If a request comes in that has a matching etag, the response will be changed to a 304 Not Modified
# and the response body will be set to an empty string. No etag header will be inserted if it's already set.
#
# === Rendering a template
#
# Template rendering works just like action rendering except that it takes a path relative to the template root.
# The current layout is automatically applied.
#
# # Renders the template located in [TEMPLATE_ROOT]/weblog/show.r(html|xml) (in Rails, app/views/weblog/show.erb)
# render :template => "weblog/show"
#
# # Renders the template with a local variable
# render :template => "weblog/show", :locals => {:customer => Customer.new}
#
# === Rendering a file
#
# File rendering works just like action rendering except that it takes a filesystem path. By default, the path
# is assumed to be absolute, and the current layout is not applied.
#
# # Renders the template located at the absolute filesystem path
# render :file => "/path/to/some/template.erb"
# render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.erb"
#
# # Renders a template within the current layout, and with a 404 status code
# render :file => "/path/to/some/template.erb", :layout => true, :status => 404
# render :file => "c:/path/to/some/template.erb", :layout => true, :status => 404
#
# === Rendering text
#
# Rendering of text is usually used for tests or for rendering prepared content, such as a cache. By default, text
# rendering is not done within the active layout.
#
# # Renders the clear text "hello world" with status code 200
# render :text => "hello world!"
#
# # Renders the clear text "Explosion!" with status code 500
# render :text => "Explosion!", :status => 500
#
# # Renders the clear text "Hi there!" within the current active layout (if one exists)
# render :text => "Hi there!", :layout => true
#
# # Renders the clear text "Hi there!" within the layout
# # placed in "app/views/layouts/special.r(html|xml)"
# render :text => "Hi there!", :layout => "special"
#
# The <tt>:text</tt> option can also accept a Proc object, which can be used to manually control the page generation. This should
# generally be avoided, as it violates the separation between code and content, and because almost everything that can be
# done with this method can also be done more cleanly using one of the other rendering methods, most notably templates.
#
# # Renders "Hello from code!"
# render :text => proc { |response, output| output.write("Hello from code!") }
#
# === Rendering XML
#
# Rendering XML sets the content type to application/xml.
#
# # Renders '<name>David</name>'
# render :xml => {:name => "David"}.to_xml
#
# It's not necessary to call <tt>to_xml</tt> on the object you want to render, since <tt>render</tt> will
# automatically do that for you:
#
# # Also renders '<name>David</name>'
# render :xml => {:name => "David"}
#
# === Rendering JSON
#
# Rendering JSON sets the content type to application/json and optionally wraps the JSON in a callback. It is expected
# that the response will be parsed (or eval'd) for use as a data structure.
#
# # Renders '{"name": "David"}'
# render :json => {:name => "David"}.to_json
#
# It's not necessary to call <tt>to_json</tt> on the object you want to render, since <tt>render</tt> will
# automatically do that for you:
#
# # Also renders '{"name": "David"}'
# render :json => {:name => "David"}
#
# Sometimes the result isn't handled directly by a script (such as when the request comes from a SCRIPT tag),
# so the <tt>:callback</tt> option is provided for these cases.
#
# # Renders 'show({"name": "David"})'
# render :json => {:name => "David"}.to_json, :callback => 'show'
#
# === Rendering an inline template
#
# Rendering of an inline template works as a cross between text and action rendering where the source for the template
# is supplied inline, like text, but its interpreted with ERb or Builder, like action. By default, ERb is used for rendering
# and the current layout is not used.
#
# # Renders "hello, hello, hello, again"
# render :inline => "<%= 'hello, ' * 3 + 'again' %>"
#
# # Renders "<p>Good seeing you!</p>" using Builder
# render :inline => "xml.p { 'Good seeing you!' }", :type => :builder
#
# # Renders "hello david"
# render :inline => "<%= 'hello ' + name %>", :locals => { :name => "david" }
#
# === Rendering inline JavaScriptGenerator page updates
#
# In addition to rendering JavaScriptGenerator page updates with Ajax in RJS templates (see ActionView::Base for details),
# you can also pass the <tt>:update</tt> parameter to +render+, along with a block, to render page updates inline.
#
# render :update do |page|
# page.replace_html 'user_list', :partial => 'user', :collection => @users
# page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user_list'
# end
#
# === Rendering vanilla JavaScript
#
# In addition to using RJS with render :update, you can also just render vanilla JavaScript with :js.
#
# # Renders "alert('hello')" and sets the mime type to text/javascript
# render :js => "alert('hello')"
#
# === Rendering with status and location headers
# All renders take the <tt>:status</tt> and <tt>:location</tt> options and turn them into headers. They can even be used together:
#
# render :xml => post.to_xml, :status => :created, :location => post_url(post)
def render(options = nil, extra_options = {}, &block) #:doc:
