Rails - Oct 2005 - Capture template output as plain html?

Hi,

 

I''m trying to find out if the following is possible.

 

I have a rhtml template stored in the database as a string.  I need to
process the template (as a string), similar to using ActionView''s
<%render_template("rhtml", @template_string) %>, but I need to
do this in the
ActionController and capture the result as a string.

 

There is a method "render_to_string" in ActionController, however I
don''t
see that there is a way to pass it the template as a string.

 

Basically I''m trying to process a template and store the result as
plain
html for use in another application.  

 

Any ideas.?

 

Thanks,

Joe

Just found the answer.

 

Thanks to RobbyOnRails for this one - found it on one of his posts.  You can
do:

parsed_template = render(:inline => @template_text)

 

Cheers Robby.
