render
function render
render(&$element)
Renders an element.
This function renders an element using drupal_render(). The top level element is shown with show() before rendering, so it will always be rendered even if hide() had been previously used on it.
Parameters
$element: The element to be rendered.
Return value
The rendered element.

Code
function render(&$element) { if (is_array($element)) { show($element); return drupal_render($element); } else { // Safe-guard for inappropriate use of render() on flat variables: return // the variable as-is. return $element; } }
