Remarks
The RenderChildren method provides additional formatting before and after calling the base class's Control.RenderChildren method. The additional formatting makes the rendered HTML of the HtmlTable control easier to read by inserting a line return and indenting before rendering the HtmlTable control's child controls.
The RenderChildren method is used primarily by control developers extending the functionality of the HtmlTable control.
