A silly contrived example:

user_controller.rb
----------------------
  # GET /users
  # GET /users.xml
  def index
    @users = User.all
    @out = `ls -l /Users/robertwalker/Desktop`

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @users }
    end
  end

index.html.erb
----------------------
<p>List of files on Desktop: <%= simple_format(@out) %></p>
