NAME

Template::TAL::Template - a TAL template

SYNOPSIS

my $template = Template::TAL::Template->new->source( "<html>...</html>" );
my $dom = $template->process( {} );
print $dom->toString();

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single TAL template, and stores its XML source. You'll probably not see these objects directly - Template::TAL takes template names and returns bytes. But you might.

METHODS

new()

Create a new TAL template object.

source( [ set source ] )

the TAL source of this template, as a scalar

languages

a listref of language plugins this template will use when parsing. All templates get at least the Template::TAL::Language:TAL language module.

add_language( language module, module, module... )

adds a language to the list of those used by the template renderer. 'module' here can be a classname or an instance.

process( data hash )

processes the template object, returns an XML::LibXML::Document object. The data hash passed in forms the global context of the tempalte. The template code will be able to change this hash using the tal:define directive in 'global' mode (see Template::TAL::Language::TAL).

process_node( node, local context, global context)

this processes a given DOM node with the passed contexts, using the Template instance's language plugins, and manipulates the DOM node according to the instructions of the plugins. Returns nothing interesting - it is expected to change the DOM tree in place.
