.Render method doesn't look for the right Output Format tpl file.

[regisphilibert]

In a list template, while ranging on the children pages, .Render (like .Permalink) systematically defaults to the the first output format defined for that page.
So if in my project the section output format is set as section: ['html', 'json'], and layouts/type/list.json.json looks something like that:

{{ range .Data.Pages }}
{{ .Render "item" }}
{{ end }}

.Render "item" will look for layouts/type/item.html instead of layouts/type/item.json

Blue sky wish: When using the .Render method, Hugo uses the current template's (list or single) output format to determine what template file to "render" (this already seem to work on the single template).

Other: User can use (.OutputFormats.Get "json").Render which currently returns can't evaluate field Render in type *hugolib.OutputFormat

PS: I started this thread a while back before figuring out what the issue was about, it has more detail information about the context.

This will be fixed as part of #5583 -- sorry that this has taken so long, but I really had to look at this in a bigger picture.
