52 * A renderer factory is just responsible for creating an appropriate renderer
53 * for any given part of Moodle.
55 * Which renderer factory to use is chose by the current theme, and an instance
56 * if created automatically when the theme is set up.
58 * A renderer factory must also have a constructor that takes a theme_config object.
59 * (See {@link renderer_factory_base::__construct} for an example.)

{
67 * Return the renderer for a particular part of Moodle.
69 * The renderer interfaces are defined by classes called {plugin}_renderer
70 * where {plugin} is the name of the component. The renderers for core Moodle are
71 * defined in lib/renderer.php. For plugins, they will be defined in a file
72 * called renderer.php inside the plugin.
74 * Renderers will normally want to subclass the renderer_base class.
75 * (However, if you really know what you are doing, you don't have to do that.)
77 * There is no separate interface definition for renderers. The default
78 * {plugin}_renderer implementation also serves to define the API for
79 * other implementations of the interface, whether or not they subclass it.
81 * A particular plugin can define multiple renderers if it wishes, using the
82 * $subtype parameter. For example workshop_renderer,
83 * workshop_allocation_manual_renderer etc.
85 * @param moodle_page $page the page the renderer is outputting content for.
86 * @param string $component name such as 'core', 'mod_forum' or 'qtype_multichoice'.
87 * @param string $subtype optional subtype such as 'news' resulting to 'mod_forum_news'
88 * @param string $target one of rendering target constants
89 * @return object an object implementing the requested renderer interface.

96 * This is a base class to help you implement the renderer_factory interface.
98 * It keeps a cache of renderers that have been constructed, so you only need
99 * to construct each one once in you subclass.
101 * It also has a method to get the name of, and include the renderer.php with
102 * the definition of, the standard renderer class for a given module.
