PartialTemplateRenderer (Tapestry API - 5.8.6)

All Known Implementing Classes:

PartialTemplateRendererImpl
```
public interface PartialTemplateRenderer
```
Service that provides methods that render Blocks (<t:block> in the template), component instances and RenderCommands to a String or org.apache.tapestry5.dom.Document in a programatic way. This service was created for situations in which a page or component needs to generate some markup that wouldn't be rendered normally, but for external use, such as e-mails, returning HTML for AJAX requests or passing HTML instead of plain string for an Alert. The name of this interface comes from TAP5-938: Expose ability to render a portion of a page (a Block, Component, etc.) without using internal services.
