Answer 1

Got it: All one needs is this line in the .json.erb file <% self.formats = ["html"] %>

So the full index.json.erb

      <% self.formats = ["html"] %>
      disclaimer = {
        "html":"<%= raw escape_javascript(render :partial => 'projects/disclaimer',
                    :content_type => 'text/html'), 
                    :locals => {:localVariable => @localVariable} 
                %>"
      }
