First you should have a look at the tslib/tslib_content.php. That's the
place where all the TypoScript is rendered. That class is already
available from the scope of your frontend plugin. Example for rendering
a IMAGE object:

$conf = array (
	'file' => 'myfilename.gif',
	'alt' => 'Some Alttext',
);

$output = $this->cObj->IMAGE ($conf);
return $output;

Maybe that helps you already ...
