how do i dynamically change my format rendering engine in rails?

My default templating engine is haml, but I would to sometimes change it to erb if i specify a specific parameter?

For example, I am pasting in some html code and would just like to test the code without HAML complaining about its format.

Any idea how to do this?

do something like:

if params[:render_erb]
  render 'file.html.erb'
else
  render 'file.html.haml'
end

and call the action with ?render_erb=true

or

render "file.html.#{params[:render]}" ir params[:render]

and call it ?render=haml or ?render=erb (or nothing and it will use the default

at the end of the controller's action that you are using

You can use different templates in the same application, and you can use different template engines for views, partials, and layouts, but as far as I know you can't duck in and out of multiple template engines within the same template file.

If you just want to drop some code in using a different template language, then I'd put it in a separate partial. That certainly seems easiest in this particular case.

Am I wrong that you simply need to save file as your_file.html.erb instead of your_file.html.haml?
