Renaissance Tags

Nicola Pera has done a great job building Renaissance, and has worked hard to document it well. The manual is clear and easy to follow, but is not complete yet. He invited me to help with the documentation, and I've found the source code easy enough to read that I might do that (Objective-C is actually quite Pythonic), but it's been years since I've hacked LaTeX and I'd rather spend my time posting examples of working code. So for now I'll just stick my notes here about the Renaissance elements which have not yet been documented in the manual.

<browser />
    titled="yes|no" (default: no)
    allowsBranchSelection="yes|no" (default: yes)
    allowsEmptySelection="yes|no" (default: no)
    allowsMultipleSelection="yes|no" (default: no)
    takesTitleFromPreviousColumn="yes|no" (default: yes)

    minColumnWidth="[number]"
    maxVisibleColumns="[number]"
    matrixClass="[subclass of NSMatrix]"

<matrixCell/>
    title="[String]"
    action="[Selector]"
    editable="yes|no"
    selectable="yes|no"

<outlineView/>
    outlineColumn="[Number]"
<popupButton/> (contains popupButtonItems)
    title="[String]"
    pullsDown="yes|no"
    autoenabledItems="yes|no" (default: yes)
<popupButtonItems/>
    tag="(???)"
    action="[Selector]"
    key="(???)"
    title="[String]"
<scrollView/>
    hasHorizontalScroller="yes|no"
    hasVerticalScroller="yes|no"
    borderType="none|line|bezel|groove"
<secureTextField/>
<splitView/>
    vertical="yes|no"
<tableColumn/>
    identifier="(???)"
    editable="yes|no"
    title="[String]"
    minWidth="[Number]"
    maxWidth="[Number]"
    width="[Number]"
    resizable="yes|no"
<tableView/> (contains tableColumns)
    dataSource="[Outlet]"
    delegate="[Outlet]"
    doubleAction="[Selector]"
    allowsColumnReordering="yes|no"
    allowsColumnResizing="yes|no"
    allowsMultipleSelection="yes|no"
    allowsEmptySelection="yes|no"
    backgroundColor="[Color]"
    drawsGrid="yes|no"
    gridColor="[Color]"
    autosaveName="[String]"
<textField/>
    editable="yes|no"
    selectable="yes|no"
    align="left|right|center"
<textView/> **(Note: Always put a textView inside a scrollView!)**
    editable="yes|no"
    selectable="yes|no"
    richText="yes|no"
    usesFontPanel="yes|no"
    allowsUndo="yes|no"
    usesRuler="yes|no"
    importGraphic="yes|no"

Well, that's what I have so far. I will try to keep this updated as I learn more, or simply point to the manual as it becomes more complete.
