Wrapper around render() for twig printed output.

If an object is passed which does not implement __toString(), RenderableInterface or toString() then an exception is thrown; Other objects are casted to string. However in the case that the object is an instance of a Twig_Markup object it is returned directly to support auto escaping.

If an array is passed it is rendered via render() and scalar values are returned directly.

Parameters

mixed $arg: String, Object or Render Array.

Return value

mixed The rendered output or an Twig_Markup object.

Throws

\Exception When $arg is passed as an object which does not implement __toString(), RenderableInterface or toString().
