It has a big flaw though: it doesn't reuse the regular render() mechanism, which means it doesn't register custom template tags from plugins.

This is bad because it means that pages rendered in this way cannot take advantage of things like [datasette-template-sql](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-template-sql).

This means this issue is likely dependent on #577 - a documented mechanism to allow plugins to render templates.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",534492501,
