Document Rendering
==================
Document rendering involves extracting all raw revision documents from
Deckhand's database, retrieving encrypted information from `Barbican`_,
and applying substitution, layering and replacement algorithms on the
data.
The following algorithms are involved during the rendering process:
:ref:`substitution`
-------------------
Substitution provides an "open" data sharing model in which any source
document can be used to substitute data into any destination document.
:ref:`layering`
---------------
Layering provides a "restricted" data inheritance model intended to help
reduce duplication in configuration.
:ref:`replacement`
------------------
Replacement builds on top of layering to provide yet another mechanism
for reducing data duplication.
