      String format(String userkey, String id)
      Renders the formatted user for a given section on the screen. Please note that the username may be null (eg for empty fields, anonymous user's, etc) or the user may not exist. Implementations should handle these cases.

      Extra context can be passed to the renderer via the id attribute. Ideally an implementation might include this id in the rendered output such that it can be used for test assertions.

      The result should always be ready to display in an HTML response i.e. it should be HTML encoded if necessary.

      Parameters:
      userkey - the user's userkey to format.
      id - A value providing extra context to the rendering process.
      Returns:
      the formatted user
