50 | * MarkupLanguage provides a variety of methods for rendering objects in a | |
51 | * template. | |
52 | * | |
53 | * Each object to be rendered has 3 methods: | |
54 | * 1 - String rendered(Object o) - this will render the object to a String | |
55 | * 2 - void render(Object o) - renders the object to melati.getWriter() | |
56 | * 3 - void render(Object o, MelatiWriter w) - render the object to w. | |
57 | * | |
58 | * When this class was written it was thought that for maximum | |
59 | * efficiency one should render the object direct to the output stream using | |
60 | * method (2) above. | |
61 | * However now all but (1) is deprecated. | |
