title: Rendering Partials within the Asset Pipeline in Rails
body: <p>Does anyone know how to render a partial (or at least include another file) within a asset file in rails? I have a templates/ folder setup (which contains static HTML files) and there bits and pieces within these files that I would like to abstract and share between other template files.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>render</code> method doesn't work in any asset pipeline files. I'm sure I can include it somehow by finding the correct module, but I'm not sure if this would work since the render module itself may rely on other modules, methods, variables.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to do this? Or if its possible?</p>
