+It is possible to share partials and associated caching between files with different mime types. For example shared partial caching allows template writers to share a partial between HTML and Javascript files.

+
+```ruby
+render(partial: 'hotels/hotel', collection: @hotels, cached: true)
+```
+
+Will load a file named `hotels/hotel.erb`.

+Another option is to include the full filename of the partial to render.
+
+```ruby
+render(partial: 'hotels/hotel.html.erb', collection: @hotels, cached: true)
