'''Spartan rendering engine''' (also known as '''EdgeHTML''') is the name of the [[layout engine]] for the [[Spartan browser]], and is a fork of [[Trident (layout engine)|Trident]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.neowin.net/news/whats-powering-spartan-internet-explorer-of-course|title=What's powering Spartan?
