/**
 * Classes for rendering HTML output for Moodle.
 *
 * Please see {@link http://docs.moodle.org/en/Developement:How_Moodle_outputs_HTML}
 * for an overview.
 *
 * Included in this file are the primary renderer classes:
 *     - renderer_base:         The renderer outline class that all renderers
 *                              should inherit from.
 *     - core_renderer:         The standard HTML renderer.
 *     - core_renderer_cli:     An adaption of the standard renderer for CLI scripts.
 *     - core_renderer_ajax:    An adaption of the standard renderer for AJAX scripts.
 *     - plugin_renderer_base:  A renderer class that should be extended by all
 *                              plugin renderers.
