-=head1 Object: render
+=head1 OVERVIEW
+
+X When a user enters a course, LON-CAPA examines the
+ course structure and caches it in what is often referred to as the
+ "big hash" X. You can see it if you are logged into
+ LON-CAPA, in a course, by going to /adm/test. (You may need to
+ tweak the /home/httpd/lonTabs/htpasswd file to view it.) The
+ content of the hash will be under the heading "Big Hash".
+
+Big Hash contains, among other things, how resources are related
+to each other (next/previous), what resources are maps, which
+resources are being chosen to not show to the student (for random
+selection), and a lot of other things that can take a lot of time
+to compute due to the amount of data that needs to be collected and
+processed.
+
+Apache::lonnavmaps provides an object model for manipulating this
+information in a higher-level fashion then directly manipulating
+the hash. It also provides access to several auxilary functions
+that aren't necessarily stored in the Big Hash, but are a per-
+resource sort of value, like whether there is any feedback on
+a given resource.
+
+Apache::lonnavmaps also abstracts away branching, and someday,
+conditions, for the times where you don't really care about those
+things.
+
+Apache::lonnavmaps also provides fairly powerful routines for
+rendering navmaps, and last but not least, provides the navmaps
+view for when the user clicks the NAV button.
+
+B: Apache::lonnavmaps I works for the "currently
+logged in user"; if you want things like "due dates for another
+student" lonnavmaps can not directly retrieve information like
+that. You need the EXT function. This module can still help,
+because many things, such as the course structure, are constant
+between users, and Apache::lonnavmaps can help by providing
+symbs for the EXT call.
+
+The rest of this file will cover the provided rendering routines,
+which can often be used without fiddling with the navmap object at
+all, then documents the Apache::lonnavmaps::navmap object, which
+is the key to accessing the Big Hash information, covers the use
+of the Iterator (which provides the logic for traversing the
+somewhat-complicated Big Hash data structure), documents the

-Encapsulating the compiled nav map
+The navmap object's job is to provide access to the resources
+in the course as Apache::lonnavmaps::resource objects, and to

-navmap is an object that encapsulates a compiled course map and
-provides a reasonable interface to it.
+Generally, you'll use the navmap object in one of three basic ways.
+In order of increasing complexity and power:
-Most notably it provides a way to navigate the map sensibly and a
-flexible iterator that makes it easy to write various renderers based
-on nav maps.
+=over 4
-You must obtain resource objects through the navmap object.
+=item * C<$navmap-EgetByX>, where X is B, B, B or B. This provides
+ various ways to obtain resource objects, based on various identifiers.
+ Use this when you want to request information about one object or
+ a handful of resources you already know the identities of, from some
+ other source. For more about Ids, Symbs, and MapPcs, see the
+ Resource documentation. Note that Url should be a B,
+ not your first choice; it only works when there is only one
+ instance of the resource in the course, which only applies to
+ maps, and even that may change in the future.
+
+=item * CretrieveResources(args)>. This
+ retrieves resources matching some criterion and returns them
+ in a flat array, with no structure information. Use this when
+ you are manipulating a series of resources, based on what map
+ the are in, but do not care about branching, or exactly how
+ the maps and resources are related. This is the most common case.
+
+=item * C<$it = $navmap-EgetIterator(args)>. This allows you traverse

+A B is the most granular type of object in LON-CAPA that can
+be included in a course. It can either be a particular resource, like
+an HTML page, external resource, problem, etc., or it can be a
+container sequence, such as a "page" or a "map".
+
+To see a sequence from the user's point of view, please see the
+B chapter of the Author's
+Manual.
+
+A Resource Object, once obtained from a navmap object via a B
+method of the navmap, or from an iterator, allows you to query
+information about that resource.
+
+Generally, you do not ever want to create a resource object yourself,
+so creation has been left undocumented. Always retrieve resources
+from navmap objects.
+
+=head3 Identifying Resources
+
+XEvery resource is identified by a Resource ID in the big hash that is
+unique to that resource for a given course. X
+The Resource ID has the form #.#, where the first number is the same
+for every resource in a map, and the second is unique. For instance,
+for a course laid out like this:
+
+ * Problem 1
+ * Map
+ * Resource 2
+ * Resource 3
+
+C and C will share a first number, and C
+C will share a first number. The second number may end up
+re-used between the two groups.
+
+The resource ID is only used in the big hash, but can be used in the
+context of a course to identify a resource easily. (For instance, the
+printing system uses it to record which resources from a sequence you
+wish to print.)
+
+X X
+All resources also have Bs, which uniquely identify a resource
+in a course. Many internal LON-CAPA functions expect a symb. A symb
+carries along with it the URL of the resource, and the map it appears
+in. Symbs are much larger then resource IDs.
