public interface AttributeRenderer
This interface describes an object that knows how to format or otherwise
render an object appropriately. Usually this is used for locale changes
for objects such as Date and floating point numbers... You can either
have an object that is sensitive to the locale or have a different object
per locale.
Each template may have a renderer for each object type or can default
to the group's renderer or the super group's renderer if the group doesn't
have one.
The toString(Object,String) method is used when the user uses the
format option: $o; format="f"$. It checks the formatName and applies the
appropriate formatting. If the format string passed to the renderer is
not recognized then simply call toString(). @since 3.1
