Typically used when ranging over a page collection, the `Render` method on a `Page` object renders the given template, passing the given page as context.
```go-html-template
{{ range site.RegularPages }}
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ .Render "summary" }}
{{ end }}
```
In the example above, note that the template ("summary") is identified by its file name without directory or extension.
Although similar to the [`partial`] function, there are key differences.
`Render` method|`partial` function|
:--|:--
The `Page` object is automatically passed to the given template. You cannot pass additional context.| You must specify the context, allowing you to pass a combination of objects, slices, maps, and scalars.
The path to the template is determined by the [content type].|You must specify the path to the template, relative to the layouts/partials directory.
Consider this layout structure:
```text
layouts/
├── _default/
│ ├── baseof.html
│ ├── home.html
│ ├── li.html <-- used for other content types
│ ├── list.html
│ ├── single.html
│ └── summary.html
└── books/
├── li.html <-- used when content type is "books"
└── summary.html
```
And this template:
```go-html-template
<ul>
{{ range site.RegularPages.ByDate }}
{{ .Render "li" }}
{{ end }}
</ul>
```
When rendering content of type "books" the `Render` method calls:
```text
layouts/books/li.html
```
For all other content types the `Render` methods calls:
```text
layouts/_default/li.html
```
