render :js in Rails 3
I just wasted a ton of time trying to get render :js working. I hope this saves a google visitor time or someone tells me what I was doing wrong.
According to guides.rubyonrails.org, render :js should work, but I kept getting an error about nil formats. Some people used render :text, but even after setting :content_type to "text/javascript", it would just display the text. So I finally gave up and used the javascript_tag. This was all done in a helper. I also just wanted to post something using Markdown to Posterous.
UPDATE: Markdown didn't work, so I'm using a gist.

However, we'll probably end up supporting it in the next version of NV regardless.
