NAME

HTML::Template::Filter::TT2 - Template Toolkit 2 syntax for HTML::Template

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

    use HTML::Template::Filter::TT2;

    my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new(filter => \&ht_tt2_filter, ...);

DESCRIPTION

This HTML::Template filter allows you to use a subset of the Template Toolkit 2 syntax, which is much less verbose than the default syntax. This is not an emulation of TT2, so you're still limited to the usual HTML::Template semantics. Also, in order to keep the filter fast and simple, the [% end %] must be written with the block name. See below for details.

SYNTAX

Here is the syntax recognised by this module.

Variables

Simple interpolation:

    [% variable %]

Interpolation with default value:

    [% variable :default %]

Interpolation with filter (i.e. a HTML::Template escape mode):

    [% variable |filter %]

Interpolation with default value and filter:

    [% variable :default |filter %]

If statements

    [% if condition %] ... [% else %] ... [end_if %]

The difference with the actual TT2 syntax is that you must use end_if instead of end

Loops

    [% loop loop-name %] ... [% end_loop %]

As for the if statement, you must use end_loop instead of end.

EXPORT

Exports the ht_tt2_filter function by default.

FUNCTIONS

ht_tt2_filter()

Pass a reference to this function to the filter parameter when calling HTML::Template->new()
