title: Hook: th-rendering-element
This hook provides a notification that a DOM element is about to be rendered by the "element" widget. The hook can optionally provide an alternate parse tree that will be rendered in place of the intended element.
Note the element widget only renders those HTML elements that were parsed as plain HTML elements within wikitext (i.e. using the `<tagname>` syntax). This means that this hook is not invoked for elements created by other widgets.
Hook function parameters:
* ''newParseTreeNodes'': optional parse tree nodes provided by a previously called hook
* ''widget'': instance of the element widget invoking the hook
Return value:
* ''newParseTreeNodes'': optionally new parse tree nodes to replace the intended element, or a falsey value to leave the element untouched
Here is an example of a handler for this hook:
```js
$tw.hooks.addHook("th-rendering-element",function(parseTreeNodes,widget) {
// Return the previous mapping if there is one
if(parseTreeNodes) {
return parseTreeNodes;
}
// Detect the elements we're interested in
if(someCondition()) {
// Replace them with a parse tree
return generateParseTreeNodes();
}
// Otherwise do nothing
return null;
});
```
