Topics and weeks have been converted to use a shared renderer to output
their content.
Note, I started with good intentions but this renderer has mixed
paradgims due to fast and cheap winning out on the trinity.
AMOS BEGIN
MOV [currenttopic,access],[currentsection,format_topics]
MOV [currentweek,access],[currentsection,format_weeks]
AMOS END
This is a course format independent url param and replaces weekly/topic specific params.
By using a standardised param we are able to use this url consistenly across the codebase
and reduce the risk of param collision
Using topics format as default is not a great idea, as we can end up
half-working dragdrop for some formats. With the current soiution, drag-drop
will not work for format, unless required js functions have been created in
format.js
Major tasks undertaken in this patch:
* New format_text argument, overflowdiv.
* New page layout Report.
* Review of all format_text calls.
* Added support for the report layout to all themes.
* Changed forum post display from tables to divs.
Please forgive me if I have missed converting any output statements. If you do find an output statement that is not formatting correctly please refere to the table I added to this bug in regards to how it should be formatted.
The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in
moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme)
Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out.

The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned
up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents
object which gives a structured representation of the block,
and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that.
How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block
regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible.
Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised.
Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is,
things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances.
(Like the add a new block UI.)
Things that are still broken:
* some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it.
* lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that
need to be updated.
