Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was.

Then in the new html.erb file, I just put <%= render "comparisons/display" %> because the views *are* able to find templates

I use render_to_string to generate short reports (in HTML) under certain conditions when users access my application. The reports are stored in the database and uses database information at the time they are generated (and can thus not be generated later, e.g; when you want to consult them). The reports are generated the same way regardless of which controller has been accessed. Conditions for
