50 * A renderer factory is just responsible for creating an appropriate renderer

53 * Which renderer factory to use is chose by the current theme, and an instance
54 * if created automatically when the theme is set up.
56 * A renderer factory must also have a constructor that takes a theme_config object.
57 * (See {@link renderer_factory_base::__construct} for an example.)
