  list | The <rich:list> component renders a list of items. The list can be an numerically ordered list, an un-ordered bullet-point list, or a data definition list. The component uses a data model for managing the list items, which can be updated dynamically.
  jQuery | The <rich:jQuery> component applies styles and custom behavior to both JSF (JavaServer Faces) objects and regular DOM (Document Object Model) objects. It uses the jQuery JavaScript framework to add functionality to web applications. This component is for use as a facelet tag. See the <rich:jQuery> EL function for access to the jQuery library via EL. @author nick
  menuItem | The <rich:menuItem> component represents a single item in a menu control. The <rich:menuItem> component can be also be used as a seperate component without a parent menu component, such as on a toolbar.

Multiple input regions can be navigated with keyboard navigation. The component has three functional states: the view state, where the component displays its initial setting, such as "click to edit"; the edit state, where the user can input text; and the "changed" state, where the new value for the component has been confirmed but can be edited again if required. @author Anton Belevich
  togglePanelItem | The <rich:togglePanelItem> component is a switchable panel for use with the <rich:togglePanel> component. Use the <rich:togglePanelItem> component to define the content for a panel using nested components.

  togglePanel | The <rich:togglePanel> component is used as a base for the other switchable components, the <rich:accordion> component and the <rich:tabPanel> component. It provides an abstract switchable component without any associated markup. As such, the <rich:togglePanel> component could be customized to provide a switchable component when neither an accordion component or a tab panel component is appropriate. @author akolonitsky @author Brian Leathem
  hashParam | The <rich:hashParam> component allows client-side parameters to be grouped into a hash map. The hash map can then be passed to the client JavaScript API functions of any RichFaces component. @author Anton Belevich

  accordion | The <rich:accordion> is a series of panels stacked on top of each other, each collapsed such that only the header of the panel is showing. When the header of a panel is clicked, it is expanded to show the content of the panel. Clicking on a different header will collapse the previous panel and epand the selected one. Each panel contained in a <rich:accordion> component is a <rich:accordionItem> component. @author akolonitsky

  columnGroup | The <rich:columnGroup> component combines multiple columns in a single row to organize complex parts of a table. The resulting effect is similar to using the breakRowBefore attribute of the <rich:column> component, but is clearer and easier to follow in the source code.
  toolbar | The <rich:toolbar> component is a horizontal toolbar. Any JavaServer Faces (JSF) component can be added to the toolbar.
  inplaceSelect | The <rich:inplaceSelect> component is similar to the <rich:inplaceInput> component, except that the <rich:inplaceSelect> component uses a drop-down selection box to enter text instead of a regular text field. Changes can be rendered either in-line or for the whole block, and inputs can be focused with keyboard navigation. The component is based on the JSF UISelectOne component, so all the standard rules for value definition, processing, conversion, and validation apply. @author Anton Belevich
  menuGroup | The <rich:menuGroup> component represents an expandable sub-menu in a menu control. The <rich:menuGroup> component can contain a number of <rich:menuItem> components, or further nested <rich:menuGroup> components.
  treeModelAdaptor | The component takes an object which implements the Map or Iterable interfaces. It adds all the object entries to the parent node as child nodes. @author Nick Belaevski
  extendedDataTable | The <rich:extendedDataTable> component builds on the functionality of the <rich:dataTable> component, adding features such as scrolling for the table body (both horizontal and vertical), Ajax loading for vertical scrolling, frozen columns, row selection, and rearranging of columns. It also supports all the basic table features such as sorting, filtering, and paging using the <rich:dataScroller> component. @author Konstantin Mishin
  tabPanel | The <rich:tabPanel> component provides a set of tabbed panels for displaying one panel of content at a time. The tabs can be highly customized and themed. Each tab within a <rich:tabPanel> container is a <rich:tab> component. @author akolonitsky
  focus | Focus component allows to set focus based on validation of components or alternatively it can preserve focus on currently focused form input. Focus can be bound to form (in case of placement to h:form) or to whole view (when placed outside of forms) - in latter case, all forms will be managed by one Focus. There can be at most one Focus per form. When there is one view-scoped Focus and form defines own Focus, form-scoped Focus settings will be used. Focus is applied each time the component is rendered - for each full page submit and for each partial page request (in case of ajaxRendered=true). Alternatively, you can use JavaScript API: `applyFocus()` function will immediately cause.
  inputNumberSlider | The <rich:inputNumberSlider> component provides a slider for changing numerical values. Optional features include control arrows to step through the values, a tool-tip to display the value while sliding, and a text field for typing the numerical value which can then be validated against the slider's range.
  inputNumberSpinner | The <rich:inputNumberSpinner> component is a single-line input field with buttons to increase and decrease a numerical value. The value can be changed using the corresponding directional keys on a keyboard, or by typing into the field.
  treeToggleListener | Associates tree toggle listener with component in order to listen for tree toggling events on server-side.
  treeSelectionChangeListener | Associates tree selection change listener with component in order to listen for tree selection events on server-side.
  itemChangeListener | Associates item change listener with any toggleable panel (accordion, collapsiblePanel, tabPanel, togglePanel, panelMenu) in order to listen for item change events.
  panelToggleListener | Associates panel toggle listener with collapsiblePanel in order to listen for panel toggle events.
  toggleControl | The <rich:toggleControl> behavior can be attached to any interface component, whether inside or outside the controlled panel itself. It works with a <rich:togglePanel> component to switch between different <rich:togglePanelItem> components. @author akolonitsky
  componentControl | The <rich:componentControl> behavior allows JavaScript API functions to be called on target components. The functions are called after defined events are triggered on the component to with the <rich:componentControl> behavior is attached. Initialization variants and activation events can be customized, and parameters can be passed to the target component. @author Anton Belevich
  validator | The <rich:validator> behavior adds client-side validation to a form input control based on registered server-side validators. It provides this validation without the need to reproduce the server-side annotations. The <rich:validator> behavior triggers all client validator annotations listed in the relevant managed bean. @author asmirnov@exadel.com

- Function Summary
  Type | Function | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `java.lang.String` | `clientId(java.lang.String)` | The rich:clientId('id') function returns the client identifier related to the passed component identifier ('id'). If the specified component identifier is not found, null is returned instead.
  `java.lang.String` | `component(java.lang.String)` | The rich:component('id') function is equivalent to the RichFaces.component('clientId') code. It returns the client object instance based on the passed server-side component identifier ('id'). If the specified component identifier is not found, null is returned instead. The function can be used to get an object from a component to call a JavaScript API function without using the component.
  `java.lang.String` | `element(java.lang.String)` | The rich:element('id') function is a shortcut for the equivalent document.getElementById(#{rich:clientId('id')}) code. It returns the element from the client, based on the passed server-side component identifier. If the specified component identifier is not found, null is returned instead.
  `java.lang.String` | `jQuerySelector(java.lang.String)` | The rich:jQuerySelector('id') function will perform nearly the same function as rich:clientId('id') but will transform the resulting id into a jQuery id selector which means that it will add a "#" character at the beginning and escape all reserved characters in CSS selectors.
  `java.lang.String` | `jQuery(java.lang.String)` | The rich:jQuery('id') function is a shortcut for the equivalent jQuery(#{rich:element('id')}) code. It returns the jQuery object from the client, based on the passed server-side component identifier. If the specified component identifier is not found, empty jQuery object is returned instead. This function is for use in EL. Refer to the <rich:jQuery> component for access to the jQuery library as a facelet tag.
  `javax.faces.component.UIComponent` | `findComponent(java.lang.String)` | The rich:findComponent('id') function returns the a UIComponent instance of the passed component identifier. If the specified component identifier is not found, null is returned instead.
  `boolean` | `isUserInRole(java.lang.Object)` | The rich:isUserInRole(Object) function checks whether the logged-in user belongs to a certain user role, such as being an administrator. User roles are defined in the web.xml settings file. @since 3.3.1
  `java.lang.String` | `toScript(java.lang.Object)` | Convert any Java Object to JavaScript representation, converting types properly, e.g.: `Java primitives` `Arrays: toScript(new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }) -> [1, 2, 3]` `Collections (sets, lists): toScript(Arrays.asList(new int[] { 1, 2, 3 })) -> [1, 2, 3]` `Maps: toScript((Map<String, String>)map) -> {\"a\":\"foo\",\"b\":\"bar\",\"c\":\"baz\"}` `Beans / Objects: toScript(new Bean[] { new Bean(1, true, "bar") }) -> [{\"bool\":true,\"foo\":\"bar\",\"integer\":1}]` `Dates and Timezones` `Combinations of above` This function delegates to org.richfaces.javascript.ScriptUtils#toScript(Object)
