title: calling the render method in single file components using Vue
body: <p>I have a Vue component which has a custom render method. The method is not getting called however.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;template&gt;
    &lt;div class="guide"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/template&gt;
  
  &lt;script&gt;
  export default {
    name: 'guide',
    render: function(createElement){
      return createElement('div', 'this will never get called?'),
    },
  };
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've looked through the documentation on single file components but it makes no reference to any caveats regarding render(). Is there another way to call this method?</p>
