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