/**
 * Base class for course formats
 *
 * Each course format must declare class
 * class format_FORMATNAME extends core_courseformat\base {}
 * in file lib.php
 *
 * For each course just one instance of this class is created and it will always be returned by
 * course_get_format($courseorid). Format may store it's specific course-dependent options in
 * variables of this class.
 *
 * In rare cases instance of child class may be created just for format without course id
 * i.e. to check if format supports AJAX.
 *
 * Also course formats may extend class section_info and overwrite
 * course_format::build_section_cache() to return more information about sections.
 *
 * If you are upgrading from Moodle 2.3 start with copying the class format_legacy and renaming
 * it to format_FORMATNAME, then move the code from your callback functions into
 * appropriate functions of the class.
