NAME
Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template::Replace - Use Dotiac::DTL as HTML::Template
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template::Replace;
# open the html template
my $template = HTML::Template->new(scalarref => \$templatedata);
# fill in some parameters
$template->param(HOME => $ENV{HOME});
$template->param(PATH => $ENV{PATH});
# send the obligatory Content-Type and print the template output
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;DESCRIPTION
Makes
Just replace
use HTML::Template;with use Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template::Replace;
or
use Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template::Replace qw/combine/; in the script that calls that template.
When using file names and a lot of different options to new(), Dotiac::DTL::Addon::html_template::Convert is a better choice.
combine
When set "combine" in the use statement, this module will allow combined Django and HTML::Template code:
Valid template:
{% if test or failed %}<TMPL_VAR test>{% endif %}This is done by first converting HTML::Template code into Django template code and then parsing the whole thing again.
{% if test or failed %}{{ test }}{% endif %}The flags will be added with a leading "+" instead of a "-".
What won't work
Some options are accepted (global_vars,filter,loop_context_vars,associate,case_sensitive) the others are ignored (caching).
Sadly, the params() call without arguments and query() won't work at all prior to Dotiac::DTL 0.8, since Dotiac::DTL doesn't really care for variables until it renders.
Compiling
There is one additional option to new():
compile
Instructs Dotiac::DTL to compile the template, only works with filenames
my $t=HTML::Template->new(filename=>"foo.html",compile=>1);BUGS
