Moodle 2.0
This page lists the old HTML-outputting functions of pre-2.0 lib/weblib.php and their 2.0 equivalents using $OUTPUT functions.
General notes
The principle of the new rendering API is to let the developer build metadata-rich components that represent HTML elements, but may be rendered in many different ways. A menu component, for example, could be rendered as a <select> element, or as a list of radio buttons or check boxes.
The following functions have been arranged in alphabetical order, although some of them are very closely related to each other. The number of occurrences of these function calls at the time of writing are indicated in parentheses.

Non-supported functions
These functions have been completely dropped in 2.0, most likely because they were used very little or not at all. All calls to these functions in core should have been replaced.
