DocumentPageRenderer Class

public abstract class DocumentPageRenderer : IDocumentRenderer

The DocumentPageRenderer class provides a base implementation for rendering documentation pages for various code elements. It standardizes the process of transforming code metadata and documentation content into properly formatted pages, serving as a bridge between raw documentation data and the final output format.

This abstract class implements the Template Method pattern, providing concrete implementations for rendering different types of documentation elements while delegating the actual formatting to derived classes through the abstract Render(TextWriter, PageCategory, IDocumentModel) method. This design allows for multiple output formats (HTML, Markdown, etc.) while maintaining a consistent documentation structure.

The class handles rendering for all standard code elements:

• Topics and namespaces (general organization)
• Types including classes, structs, interfaces, enums, and delegates
• Members including constructors, fields, properties, methods, events, and operators

When implementing a custom renderer, developers only need to override the abstract Render(TextWriter, PageCategory, IDocumentModel) method to define how different page categories should be formatted, while inheriting the standardized rendering flow.
