With 6.7.0 you can use
org.apache.wicket.core.util.string.ComponentRenderer#renderPage(PageProvider)
and
org.apache.wicket.core.util.string.ComponentRenderer#renderComponent(Component).
See org.apache.wicket.examples.asemail.MailTemplate (wicket-examples) for its
usage.

> I think it would be useful to add a utility class/method to convert from a
> Panel or Component to its markup String. There are at least 2 very valid use
> cases where doing this makes sense:
> 1. You are trying to create an html email to send out to your customers.
> Building that content out with wicket is a great way to do it. We are able
> to harness Wicket's awesome i18n capabilities to generate the content.
> Otherwise, we resort to ResourceBundles or having to introduce some other
> templating library.
> 2. Many Javascript APIs/JQuery Plugins (i.e. growl notifications, popovers,
> etc) want the html content passed in. Again, ideally the component is
> written in wicket and we could use the utility to convert it to a String.
> The blog post below (thanks Cedric!) suggests a way to do this, but I think
> it would be helpful to be included in the wicket framework. What do you guys
> think?
