I'd like to create a MediaTypeFormatter that handles HTML MIME types, similar to this. The catch is that I don't want (or have) a view/template file: I want to generate the HTML string given just the object (the value) and it's type.

If Razor already supports this, please point me to the documentation or an example.
If Razor covers only a part of my need, please help me understand the gap that I'd need to fill in.
If Razor isn't helpful, I assume reflection is my best bet. If you want to start me off, be my guest.

I feel like I've seen something similar to what I need, but I can't find it at this point. What functionality does Razor have to support my use case?

I'm confused. You don't want to have a view/template but you want to use Razor, which is a templating language? – DavidG Mar 29 '17 at 01:30
@DavidG I want a view minus the file. Does that make sense? – ricksmt Mar 29 '17 at 15:07
