=head1 NAME
Rex::Template - simple template engine
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Rex::Template;
my $template = Rex::Template->new;
print $template->parse($content, \%template_vars);
print $template->parse($content, @template_vars);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a simple template engine for configuration files. It is included mostly for backwards compatibility, and it is recommended to use L<Rex::Template::NG> instead (for better control of chomping new lines, and better diagnostics if things go wrong).
=head2 SYNTAX
The following syntax is recognized:
=over 4
=item * anything between C<E<lt>%> and C<%E<gt>> markers are considered as a template directive, which is treated as Perl code
=item * if the opening marker is followed by an equal sign (C<E<lt>%=>) or a plus sign (C<E<lt>%+>), then the directive is replaced with the value it evaluates to
=item * if the closing marker is prefixed with a minus sign (C<-%E<gt>>), then any trailing newlines are chomped for that directive
=back
The built-in template support is intentionally kept basic and simple. For anything more sophisticated, please use your favorite template engine.
=head2 EXAMPLES
Plain text is unchanged:
my $result = $template->parse( 'one two three', {} );
# $result is 'one two three'
Variable interpolation:
my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $::name %>', { name => 'foo' } ); # original format
my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%+ $::name %>', { name => 'foo' } ); # alternative format with + sign
my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $name %>', { name => 'foo' } ); # local variables
my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $name %>', name => 'foo' ); # array of variables, instead of hashref
# $result is 'Hello, this is foo' for all cases above
Simple evaluation:
my $result = $template->parse( '<%= join("/", @{$elements} ) %>', elements => [qw(one two three)] );
# $result is 'one/two/three'
Embedded code blocks:
my $content = '<% if ($logged_in) { %>
Logged in!
<% } else { %>
Logged out!
<% } %>';
my $result = $template->parse( $content, logged_in => 1 );
# $result is "\nLogged in!\n"
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
Not much, mainly due to the internal approach of the module.
If there was a problem, it prints an C<INFO> level I<"syntax error at ...">, followed by a C<WARN> about I<"It seems that there was an error processing the template because the result is empty.">, and finally I<"Error processing template at ...">.
The beginning of the reported syntax error might give some clue where the error happened in the template, but that's it.
Use L<Rex::Template::NG> instead for better diagnostics.
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
If C<$Rex::Template::BE_LOCAL> is set to a true value, then local template variables are supported instead of only global ones (C<$foo> vs C<$::foo>). The default value is C<1> since Rex-0.41. It can be disabled with the L<no_local_template_vars|Rex#no_local_template_vars> feature flag.
If C<$Rex::Template::DO_CHOMP> is set to a true value, then any trailing new line character resulting from template directives are chomped. Defaults to C<0>.
This module does not support any environment variables.

=head2 parse($content, $variables)
Parse C<$content> as a template, using C<$variables> hash reference to pass name-value pairs of variables to make them available for the template function.
Alternatively, the variables may be passed as an array instead of a hash reference.

=head2 is_defined($variable, $default_value)
This function will check if C<$variable> is defined. If yes, it will return the value of C<$variable>, otherwise it will return C<$default_value>.
You can use this function inside your templates, for example:
ServerTokens <%= is_defined( $::server_tokens, 'Prod' ) %>

my ( $check_var, $default ) = @_;
if ( defined $check_var ) { return $check_var; }

=head1 DEPENDENCIES
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
It might not be able to chomp new line characters resulting from templates in every case.
It can't report useful diagnostic messages upon errors.
Use L<Rex::Template::NG> instead.
