@title[#:tag "renderer"]{Renderer}
A renderer is an object that provides two main methods:
@scheme[collect] and @scheme[render]. The first method is called to
collect global information about the document, including information
that spans multiple documents rendered together; the collection pass
tends to be format-independent, and it usually implemented completely
by the base renderer. The latter method generates the actual output,
which is naturally specific to a particular format.
@section{Base Renderer}
@defmodule[scribble/base-render]{The
@schememodname[scribble/base-render] module provides @scheme[render%],
which implements the core of a renderer. This rendering class must be
refined with a mixin from @schememodname[scribble/text-render],
@schememodname[scribble/html-render], or
@schememodname[scribble/latex-render].}
The mixin structure is meant to support document-specific extensions
to the renderers. For example, the @exec{scribble} command-line tool
might, in the future, extract rendering mixins from a document module
(in addition to the document proper).
See the @filepath{base-render.ss} source for more information about
the methods of the renderer. Documents built with higher layers, such
as @schememodname[scribble/manual], generally do not call the render
object's methods directly.
@defclass[render% object% ()]{
Represents a renderer.
@defconstructor[([dest-dir path-string?])]{
Creates a renderer whose output goes to @scheme[dest-dir].
}
@defmethod[(collect [srcs (listof path-string?)]
[dests (listof path-string?)])
collect-info?]{
Performs the @techlink{collect pass}.
}
@defmethod[(resolve [srcs (listof path-string?)]
[dests (listof path-string?)]
[ci collect-info?])
resolve-info?]{
Performs the @techlink{resolve pass}.
}
@defmethod[(render [srcs (listof path-string?)]
[dests (listof path-string?)]
[ri resolve-info?])
void?]{
Produces the final output.
}
@defmethod[(serialize-info [ri resolve-info?])
any/c]{
Serializes the collected info in @scheme[ri].
}
@defmethod[(deserialize-info [v any/c]
[ci collect-info?])
void?]{
Adds the deserialized form of @scheme[v] to @scheme[ci].
}
