This means dropping down to using template_loader() and HttpResponse objects to handle this fairly trivial task. A simple change to render_to_response() would allow the developer to pass that information along: {{{ def render_to_response(*args, **kwargs): ctype = kwargs.pop('content_type', None) return HttpResponse(loader.render_to_string(*args, **kwargs), mimetype=c type) load_and_render = render_to_response # For backwards compatibility. }}} To use it, simply do: {{{ return render_to_response( 'imageview/gallery', content_dictionary, content_type = ""application/xhtml+xml; charset=%s"" % DEFAULT_CHARSET, context_instance = DjangoContext(request) ) }}}",enhancement,closed,Template system,dev,normal,fixed,sprintsept14,,Ready for checkin,1,0,0,0,0,0
