Well, what I ended up doing was just sort of brute-forcing it. The
database models people, so I created a view template that would format
just one person at a time. Then looped through my list of people,
generating view code, gsubbed out the returns and line feeds, then
appended to my collective list with a newline:
result = ""
people.each do |person|
person_xml = render_to_string(:template -> 'blah/blah', :layout => false)
person_xml.gsub!("\r", " ")
person_xml.gsub!("\n", " ")
end
result += person_xml + "\n"
Then sent it out as text/plain with send_data()
