Theme Flow 6 1

The theme() function in Drupal allows modules and themes to output dynamic content. It first checks the theme registry for the specified hook, then looks for template files and preprocess functions associated with that hook. Variables are built and passed between preprocess functions by reference to provide template files with all necessary data.
