I’m porting an application to Rails 3.

We’re an e-commerce site and naturally we send copies of tax invoices by email. We use plain text, so a .text.erb seems logical.

We also display invoices in an area of the user profile, inside <pre></pre> tags. Is there are way I can share a partial between plain text mailer templates, and views in HTML? If I try to render "shared/invoice" inside my HTML ERB template, it says the partial doesn’t exist, and that’s because it’s a .text.erb partial.

What are my options, without duplicating code?

    I haven’t tried this in Rails 3, but in Rails 2 you could specify the format of the partial. Might be worth giving it a go on Rails 3.

    render :partial => "shared/invoice.text.erb"
