The api document for “Rendering a template” at  
[http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000452](http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000452)  
has:

# Renders the template located in [TEMPLATE\_ROOT]/weblog/show.r(html|

xml) (in Rails, app/views/weblog/show.erb)  
render :template =\> “weblog/show”

Is it missing 2.x after Rails? Should it be the following?

# Renders the template located in [TEMPLATE\_ROOT]/weblog/show.r(html|

xml) (in Rails 2.x, app/views/weblog/show.erb)  
render :template =\> “weblog/show”

actually, in Rails 2.x the standard html view would be:  
app/views/weblog/show.html.erb
