-
-The behavior of these renderers is the same, except for the engine
-used to render the template.
-
-When a ``renderer`` attribute that names a template path or :term:`asset
-specification` (e.g. ``myproject:templates/foo.pt`` or
-``myproject:templates/foo.txt``) is used, the view must return a
-:term:`Response` object or a Python *dictionary*. If the view callable with
-an associated template returns a Python dictionary, the named template will
-be passed the dictionary as its keyword arguments, and the template renderer
-implementation will return the resulting rendered template in a response to
-the user. If the view callable returns anything but a Response object or a
-dictionary, an error will be raised.
-
-Before passing keywords to the template, the keyword arguments derived from
-the dictionary returned by the view are augmented. The callable object --
-whatever object was used to define the view -- will be automatically inserted
-into the set of keyword arguments passed to the template as the ``view``
-keyword. If the view callable was a class, the ``view`` keyword will be an
-instance of that class. Also inserted into the keywords passed to the
-template are ``renderer_name`` (the string used in the ``renderer`` attribute
-of the directive), ``renderer_info`` (an object containing renderer-related
-information), ``context`` (the context resource of the view used to render
-the template), and ``request`` (the request passed to the view used to render

-``*.mak`` or ``*.mako``: Mako Template Renderer
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``Mako`` template renderer renders views using a Mako template. When
-used, the view must return a Response object or a Python *dictionary*. The
-dictionary items will then be used in the global template space. If the view
-callable returns anything but a Response object or a dictionary, an error
-will be raised.
-
-When using a ``renderer`` argument to a :term:`view configuration` to specify
-a Mako template, the value of the ``renderer`` may be a path relative to the
-``mako.directories`` setting (e.g. ``some/template.mak``) or, alternately,
-it may be a :term:`asset specification`
-(e.g. ``apackage:templates/sometemplate.mak``). Mako templates may
-internally inherit other Mako templates using a relative filename or a
-:term:`asset specification` as desired.
-
-Here's an example view configuration which uses a relative path:
-
-.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
-
- # config is an instance of pyramid.config.Configurator
-
- config.add_view('myproject.views.hello_world',
- name='hello',
- context='myproject.resources.Hello',
- renderer='foo.mak')
-
-It's important to note that in Mako's case, the 'relative' path name
-``foo.mak`` above is not relative to the package, but is relative to the
-directory (or directories) configured for Mako via the ``mako.directories``
-configuration file setting.
-
-The renderer can also be provided in :term:`asset specification`
-format. Here's an example view configuration which uses one:
-
-.. code-block:: python
- :linenos:
-
- config.add_view('myproject.views.hello_world',
- name='hello',
- context='myproject.resources.Hello',
- renderer='mypackage:templates/foo.mak')
-
-The above configuration will use the file named ``foo.mak`` in the
-``templates`` directory of the ``mypackage`` package.
-
-The ``Mako`` template renderer can take additional arguments beyond the
-standard ``pyramid.reload_templates`` setting, see the
-:ref:`environment_chapter` for additional
-:ref:`mako_template_renderer_settings`.

-Using ZPT Macros in :app:`Pyramid`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-When a :term:`renderer` is used to render a template, :app:`Pyramid` makes at
-least two top-level names available to the template by default: ``context``
-and ``request``. One of the common needs in ZPT-based templates is to use
-one template's "macros" from within a different template. In Zope, this is
-typically handled by retrieving the template from the ``context``. But the
-context in :app:`Pyramid` is a :term:`resource` object, and templates cannot
-usually be retrieved from resources. To use macros in :app:`Pyramid`, you
-need to make the macro template itself available to the rendered template by
-passing the macro template, or even the macro itself, *into* the rendered
-template. To do this you can use the :func:`pyramid.renderers.get_renderer`
-API to retrieve the macro template, and pass it into the template being
-rendered via the dictionary returned by the view. For example, using a

-At times, you may want to render a macro inside of a Chameleon ZPT template
-instead of the full Chameleon ZPT template. To render the content of a

-template file named ``foo.pt`` and a macro named ``bar`` defined within it
-(e.g. ``<div metal:define-macro="bar">...</div>``), you can configure the

-Side Effects of Rendering a Chameleon Template
-----------------------------------------------
-
-When a Chameleon template is rendered from a file, the templating
-engine writes a file in the same directory as the template file itself
-as a kind of cache, in order to do less work the next time the
-template needs to be read from disk. If you see "strange" ``.py``
-files showing up in your ``templates`` directory (or otherwise
-directly "next" to your templates), it is due to this feature.
-
-If you're using a version control system such as Subversion, you
