How to return a plain text string back to browser in lift views?

Question

I would like to return plain-text back to browser in a lift view like this:

import scala.xml.Text    
def csv_export_status_check: NodeSeq = {
    Text("my text")
}

But the "my text" just does not show at all.

Am I doing it wrong?

Answer 1

I tried the following, and it worked:

def render =
  xml.Text("aoeu")

Actually, your version should work as well - maybe there is some other problem?
