    # 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:
