How to render HTML of entity?

Question

I have created my custom entities using Entity Construction Kit module.

Is it possible to render an HTML output of entity programatically? So I could display an entity for example in block?

I have found function entity_view, but it returns only array, not whole HTML output.

For now, I am using Views to achieve this. I create a view that displays one instance, and I am using function view_embed_view to display HTML.

But is there any direct function, so I don't need to create a view?

If you've got it working with entity_view, you probably just need to use:

print render($entity);

where $entity is the render array returned from entity_view.
