 * 
 * 								EDIT TOOL FACTORY
 * 
 * @author Rhonda Kammer
 ****************************************************************************************
 * The file is appropriately named edit_tool_factory but the class name is make_tool.
 * This class receives a request from emporis html templates to produce an editing tool at
 * a particular HTML element (that have been fitted with publish functions) whose id is 
 * brought in through element_id parameter.
 * 
 * This class is not meant to be used by the outside world. It is a class which is indirectly
 * invoked by the pubishers child editor, because editor prints this method call in emporis
 * templates based on publish tags placed by template designers in Emporis HTML templates.
 * All methods and variables are private although make_tool could be invoked from page embedded 
 * javascript this is NOT the way it is meant to be used.
 * 
 * See publisher and editor php classes.
