Renders templates from a string or file and handles their layouts:

Example:

  module MyRenderer
    def my(template, options, &layout)
      render(template, :my, options, &layout)
    end

    def render_my(template)
      template.capitalize  # It capitalizes templates!!!!!  WOW!
    end
  end
  Sinatra::EventContext.send :include, MyRenderer

  get '/' do
     my "something"
  end

  get_it '/' # => 'Something'

The second method is named render_extname. render will call this dynamicly

paramaters:

• template If String, renders the string. If Symbol, reads from file with the basename of the Symbol; uses renderer for extension.
• renderer A symbol defining the render_ method to call and the extension append to template when looking in the views_directory
• options An optional Hash of options (see next section)

options:

• +:views_directory+ Allows you to override the default ‘views’ directory an look for the template in another
• +:layout+ Which layout to use (see Sinatra::Dsl). false to force a render with no layout. Defaults to :default layout
