How do I render a partial of a different format in Rails?

Question

I\'m trying to generate a JSON response that includes some HTML. Thus, I have /app/views/foo/bar.json.erb:

{
  someKey: \'some value\',
  someH

You have two options:

1) use render :file

render :file => "foo/_baz.json.erb"

2) change template format to html by setting @template_format variable

<% @template_format = "html" %>
<%= h render(:partial => '/foo/baz') %>
