This is part of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Theme_engines_for_Moodle%3F
The concept is that all the print_... functions in weblib get replaced by methods
on a moodle_core_renderer class. Then, the theme can choose whether to
use the standard moodle_core_renderer class, or another implemenatation of
its own choosing, to generate different HTML.
Also, becuase Moodle is modular, we may need a moodle_mod_forum_renderer
and so on.
In order for the theme to be able to choose which renderers get created, we
introduce the concept of a renderer factory, as in the factory design pattern.
The theme will choose which factory should be used, and that then creates
the renderer objects based on the module name.
This commit includes 4 types of factory:
* standard_renderer_factory
* custom_corners_renderer_factory
* theme_overridden_renderer_factory
* template_renderer_factory
All this with unit tests and PHP doc comments.
Note, this new code is not actually used yet. Still todo:
1. actually define the moodle_core_renderer class, and deprecate a lot of weblib functions.
2. make theme_setup initialise everything, so it is used.
