/**
* @defgroup themeable Theme system overview
* @{
* Functions and templates for the user interface that themes can override.
*
* Drupal's theme system allows a theme to have nearly complete control over
* the appearance of the site, which includes both the markup and the CSS used
* to style the markup. For this system to work, modules, instead of writing
* HTML markup directly, need to return "render arrays", which are structured
* hierarchical arrays that include the data to be rendered into HTML (or XML or
* another output format), and options that affect the markup. Render arrays
* are ultimately rendered into HTML or other output formats by recursive calls
* to drupal_render(), traversing the depth of the render array hierarchy. At
* each level, the theme system is invoked to do the actual rendering. See the
* documentation of drupal_render() and the
* @link theme_render Theme system and Render API topic @endlink for more
* information about render arrays and rendering.
*
* @section sec_twig_theme Twig Templating Engine
* Drupal 8 utilizes the templating engine Twig. Twig offers developers a fast,
* secure, and flexible method for building templates for Drupal 8 sites. Twig
* also offers substantial usability improvements over PHPTemplate, and does
* not require front-end developers to know PHP to build and manipulate Drupal
* 8 themes.
*
* For further information on theming in Drupal 8 see
* https://www.drupal.org/theme-guide/8
*
* For further Twig documentation see
* http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/templates.html
*
* @section sec_theme_hooks Theme Hooks
* The theme system is invoked in drupal_render() by calling the internal
* _theme() function, which operates on the concept of "theme hooks". Theme
* hooks define how a particular type of data should be rendered. They are
* registered by modules by implenting hook_theme(), which specifies the name of
* the hook, the input "variables" used to provide data and options, and other
* information. Modules implementing hook_theme() also need to provide a default
* implementation for each of their theme hooks, normally in a Twig file, and
* they may also provide preprocessing functions. For example, the core Search
* module defines a theme hook for a search result item in search_theme():
* @code
* return array(
* 'search_result' => array(
* 'variables' => array(
* 'result' => NULL,
* 'plugin_id' => NULL,
* ),
* 'file' => 'search.pages.inc',
* 'template' => 'search-result',
* ),
* );
* @endcode
* Given this definition, the template file with the default implementation is
* search-result.html.twig, which can be found in the
* core/modules/search/templates directory, and the variables for rendering are
* the search result and the plugin ID. In addition, there is a function
* template_preprocess_search_result(), located in file search.pages.inc, which
* preprocesses the information from the input variables so that it can be
* rendered by the Twig template; the processed variables that the Twig template
* receives are documented in the header of the default Twig template file.
*
* hook_theme() implementations can also specify that a theme hook
* implementation is a theme function, but that is uncommon. It is only used for
* special cases, for performance reasons, because rendering using theme
* functions is somewhat faster than theme templates.
*
* @section sec_overriding_theme_hooks Overriding Theme Hooks
* Themes may register new theme hooks within a hook_theme() implementation, but
* it is more common for themes to override default implementations provided by
* modules than to register entirely new theme hooks. Themes can override a
* default implementation by creating a template file with the same name as the
* default implementation; for example, to override the display of search
* results, a theme would add a file called search-result.html.twig to its
* templates directory. A good starting point for doing this is normally to
* copy the default implementation template, and then modifying it as desired.
*
* In the uncommon case that a theme hook uses a theme function instead of a
* template file, a module would provide a default implementation function
* called theme_HOOK, where HOOK is the name of the theme hook (for example,
* theme_search_result() would be the name of the function for search result
* theming). In this case, a theme can override the default implentation by
* defining a function called THEME_HOOK() in its THEME.theme file, where THEME
* is the machine name of the theme (for example, 'bartik' is the machine name
* of the core Bartik theme, and it would define a function called
* bartik_search_result() in the bartik.theme file, if the search_result hook
* implementation was a function instead of a template). Normally, copying the
* default function is again a good starting point for overriding its behavior.
*
* @section sec_preprocess_templates Preprocessing for Template Files
* If the theme implementation is a template file, several functions are called
* before the template file is invoked to modify the variables that are passed
* to the template. These make up the "preprocessing" phase, and are executed
* (if they exist), in the following order (note that in the following list,
* HOOK indicates the theme hook name, MODULE indicates a module name, THEME
* indicates a theme name, and ENGINE indicates a theme engine name). Modules,
* themes, and theme engines can provide these functions to modify how the
* data is preprocessed, before it is passed to the theme template:
* - template_preprocess(&$variables, $hook): Creates a default set of variables
* for all theme hooks with template implementations. Provided by Drupal Core.
* - template_preprocess_HOOK(&$variables): Should be implemented by the module
* that registers the theme hook, to set up default variables.
* - MODULE_preprocess(&$variables, $hook): hook_preprocess() is invoked on all
* implementing modules.
* - MODULE_preprocess_HOOK(&$variables): hook_preprocess_HOOK() is invoked on
* all implementing modules, so that modules that didn't define the theme hook
* can alter the variables.
* - ENGINE_engine_preprocess(&$variables, $hook): Allows the theme engine to
* set necessary variables for all theme hooks with template implementations.
* - ENGINE_engine_preprocess_HOOK(&$variables): Allows the theme engine to set
* necessary variables for the particular theme hook.
* - THEME_preprocess(&$variables, $hook): Allows the theme to set necessary
* variables for all theme hooks with template implementations.
* - THEME_preprocess_HOOK(&$variables): Allows the theme to set necessary
* variables specific to the particular theme hook.
*
* @section sec_preprocess_functions Preprocessing for Theme Functions
* If the theming implementation is a function, only the theme-hook-specific
* preprocess functions (the ones ending in _HOOK) are called from the list
* above. This is because theme hooks with function implementations need to be
* fast, and calling the non-theme-hook-specific preprocess functions for them
* would incur a noticeable performance penalty.
*
* @section sec_suggestions Theme hook suggestions
* In some cases, instead of calling the base theme hook implementation (either
* the default provided by the module that defined the hook, or the override
* provided by the theme), the theme system will instead look for "suggestions"
* of other hook names to look for. Suggestions can be specified in several
* ways:
* - In a render array, the '#theme' property (which gives the name of the hook
* to use) can be an array of theme hook names instead of a single hook name.
* In this case, the render system will look first for the highest-priority
* hook name, and if no implementation is found, look for the second, and so
* on. Note that the highest-priority suggestion is at the end of the array.
* - In a render array, the '#theme' property can be set to the name of a hook
* with a '__SUGGESTION' suffix. For example, in search results theming, the
* hook 'item_list__search_results' is given. In this case, the render system
* will look for theme templates called item-list--search-results.html.twig,
* which would only be used for rendering item lists containing search
* results, and if this template is not found, it will fall back to using the
* base item-list.html.twig template. This type of suggestion can also be
* combined with providing an array of theme hook names as described above.
* - A module can implement hook_theme_suggestions_HOOK(). This allows the
* module that defines the theme template to dynamically return an array
* containing specific theme hook names (presumably with '__' suffixes as
* defined above) to use as suggestions. For example, the Search module
* does this in search_theme_suggestions_search_result() to suggest
* search_result__PLUGIN as the theme hook for search result items, where
* PLUGIN is the machine name of the particular search plugin type that was
* used for the search (such as node_search or user_search).
*
* @section sec_alternate_suggestions Altering theme hook suggestions
* Modules can also alter the theme suggestions provided using the mechanisms
* of the previous section. There are two hooks for this: the
* theme-hook-specific hook_theme_suggestions_HOOK_alter() and the generic
* hook_theme_suggestions_alter(). These hooks get the current list of
* suggestions as input, and can change this array (adding suggestions and
* removing them).

/**
* @defgroup theme_render Render API overview
* @{
* Overview of the Theme system and Render API.
*
* The main purpose of Drupal's Theme system is to give themes complete control
* over the appearance of the site, which includes the markup returned from HTTP
* requests and the CSS files used to style that markup. In order to ensure that
* a theme can completely customize the markup, module developers should avoid
* directly writing HTML markup for pages, blocks, and other user-visible output
* in their modules, and instead return structured "render arrays" (see @ref
* arrays below). Doing this also increases usability, by ensuring that the
* markup used for similar functionality on different areas of the site is the
* same, which gives users fewer user interface patterns to learn.
*
* For further information on the Theme and Render APIs, see:
* - https://drupal.org/documentation/theme
* - https://drupal.org/node/722174
* - https://drupal.org/node/933976
* - https://drupal.org/node/930760
*
* @todo Check these links. Some are for Drupal 7, and might need updates for
* Drupal 8.
*
* @section arrays Render arrays
* The core structure of the Render API is the render array, which is a
* hierarchical associative array containing data to be rendered and properties
* describing how the data should be rendered. A render array that is returned
* by a function to specify markup to be sent to the web browser or other
* services will eventually be rendered by a call to drupal_render(), which will
* recurse through the render array hierarchy if appropriate, making calls into
* the theme system to do the actual rendering. If a function or method actually
* needs to return rendered output rather than a render array, the best practice
* would be to create a render array, render it by calling drupal_render(), and
* return that result, rather than writing the markup directly. See the
* documentation of drupal_render() for more details of the rendering process.
*
* Each level in the hierarchy of a render array (including the outermost array)
* has one or more array elements. Array elements whose names start with '#' are
* known as "properties", and the array elements with other names are "children"
* (constituting the next level of the hierarchy); the names of children are
* flexible, while property names are specific to the Render API and the
* particular type of data being rendered. A special case of render arrays is a
* form array, which specifies the form elements for an HTML form; see the
* @link form_api Form generation topic @endlink for more information on forms.
*
* Render arrays (at each level in the hierarchy) will usually have one of the
* following three properties defined:
* - #type: Specifies that the array contains data and options for a particular
* type of "render element" (examples: 'form', for an HTML form; 'textfield',
* 'submit', and other HTML form element types; 'table', for a table with
* rows, columns, and headers). See @ref elements below for more on render
* element types.
* - #theme: Specifies that the array contains data to be themed by a particular
* theme hook. Modules define theme hooks by implementing hook_theme(), which
* specifies the input "variables" used to provide data and options; if a
* hook_theme() implementation specifies variable 'foo', then in a render
* array, you would provide this data using property '#foo'. Modules
* implementing hook_theme() also need to provide a default implementation for
* each of their theme hooks, normally in a Twig file. For more information
* and to discover available theme hooks, see the documentation of
* hook_theme() and the
* @link themeable Default theme implementations topic. @endlink
* - #markup: Specifies that the array provides HTML markup directly. Unless the
* markup is very simple, such as an explanation in a paragraph tag, it is
* normally preferable to use #theme or #type instead, so that the theme can
* customize the markup.
*
* @section elements Render elements
* Render elements are defined by Drupal core and modules. The primary way to
* define a render element is to create a render element plugin. There are
* two types of render element plugins:
* - Generic elements: Generic render element plugins implement
* \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\ElementInterface, are annotated with
* \Drupal\Core\Render\Annotation\RenderElement annotation, go in plugin
* namespace Element, and generally extend the
* \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\RenderElement base class.
* - Form input elements: Render elements representing form input elements
* implement \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\FormElementInterface, are annotated
* with \Drupal\Core\Render\Annotation\FormElement annotation, go in plugin
* namespace Element, and generally extend the
* \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\FormElement base class.
* See the @link plugin_api Plugin API topic @endlink for general information
* on plugins, and look for classes with the RenderElement or FormElement
* annotation to discover what render elements are available.
*
* Modules can also currently define render elements by implementing
* hook_element_info(), although defining a plugin is preferred.
* properties. Look through implementations of hook_element_info() to discover
* elements defined this way.
