## HTMLRenderer
## TemplateHTMLRenderer
Renders data to HTML, using Django's standard template rendering.
Unlike other renderers, the data passed to the `Response` does not need to be serialized. Also, unlike other renderers, you may want to include a `template_name` argument when creating the `Response`.
The HTMLRenderer will create a `RequestContext`, using the `response.data` as the context dict, and determine a template name to use to render the context.

You can use `HTMLRenderer` either to return regular HTML pages using REST framework, or to return both HTML and API responses from a single endpoint.

If you're building websites that use `HTMLRenderer` along with other renderer classes, you should consider listing `HTMLRenderer` as the first class in the `renderer_classes` list, so that it will be prioritised first even for browsers that send poorly formed `ACCEPT:` headers.

## StaticHTMLRenderer
A simple renderer that simply returns pre-rendered HTML. Unlike other renderers, the data passed to the response object should be a string representing the content to be returned.
An example of a view that uses `TemplateHTMLRenderer`:
@api_view(('GET',))
@renderer_classes((StaticHTMLRenderer,))
def simple_html_view(request):
data = '<html><body><h1>Hello, world</h1></body></html>'
