How do I render just a string / call an engine manually?

[Ben]

I'm trying to feed a regular string through an engine, independent of
the action, etc. I looked at the render helper, and tried to figure
out how it all fits together.

I've only produced the hackish (and slightly broken for my purposes)
code:

View::Etanni.call(action, string).first

What's a clean/standard way of rendering a string without having a
template or an action associated with it?

Thanks :)

Hi Ben,

You should just be able to
respond yourstring
(or)
respond(yourstring, 200)
