-Base views (:mod:`cubicweb.web.views.baseviews`)
-------------------------------------------------
-
-*CubicWeb* provides a lot of standard views. You can find them in
-``cubicweb/web/views/``.
-
-A certain number of views are used to build the web interface, which apply
-to one or more entities. Their identifier is what distinguish them from
-each others and the main ones are:
-
-HTML views
-~~~~~~~~~~
-Special views
-`````````````
-
-*noresult*
- This view is the default view used when no result has been found
- (e.g. empty result set).
-
-*final*
- Display the value of a cell without trasnformation (in case of a non final
- entity, we see the eid). Applicable on any result set.
-
-*null*
- This view is the default view used when nothing needs to be rendered.
- It is always applicable and it does not return anything
-
-Entity views
-````````````
-*incontext, outofcontext*
- Those are used to display a link to an entity, depending on the
- entity having to be displayed in or out of context
- (of another entity). By default it respectively returns the
- result of `textincontext` and `textoutofcontext` wrapped in a link
- leading to the primary view of the entity.
-
-*oneline*
- This view is used when we can't tell if the entity should be considered as
- displayed in or out of context. By default it returns the result of `text`
- in a link leading to the primary view of the entity.
-
-List
-`````
-*list*
- This view displays a list of entities by creating a HTML list (`<ul>`)
- and call the view `listitem` for each entity of the result set.
-
-*listitem*
- This view redirects by default to the `outofcontext` view.
-
-*adaptedlist*
- This view displays a list of entities of the same type, in HTML section (`<div>`)
- and call the view `adaptedlistitem` for each entity of the result set.
-
-*adaptedlistitem*
- This view redirects by default to the `outofcontext` view.
-
-*csv*
- This view applies to entity groups, which are individually
- displayed using the `incontext` view. It displays each entity as a
- coma separated list. It is NOT related to the well-known text file
- format.
-
-Text entity views
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-*text*
- This is the simplest text view for an entity. By default it returns the
- result of the `.dc_title` method, which is cut to fit the
- `navigation.short-line-size` property if necessary.
-
-*textincontext, textoutofcontext*
- Similar to the `text` view, but called when an entity is considered out or
- in context. By default it returns respectively the result of the
- methods `.dc_title` and `.dc_long_title` of the entity.
