      The current workaround is using reflection to retrieve the protected {_form} property. This is a nasty hack.

      $reflect = new ReflectionClass('my_moodleform');
      		 
      $form_field = $reflect->getPropert('_form');
      		 
      $form_field->setAccessible(true);
      		 
       
      		 
      $html = $form_field->getValue($form)->toHtml();

      • Make a form definition.
      • Try rendering echo $form->html(); or $form->display();
      • Behavior should be the same.

    Description

      There are cases where the developer needs the form html instead of immediate display. This behavior would be consistent with $OUTPUT and html_writer.

      // Returns html of form
      		 
      $html = $form->html();

      I have included a patch that adds this behavior.
