Hello list,
Has anyone managed to teach HTML::TreeBuilder the syntax of HTML::Template
(se man page om CPAN)?
The syntax of HTML::Template is quite simple and consists of <tmpl_if>,
<tmpl_unless>, <tmpl_loop> and the empty elements <tmpl_var> and
<tmpl_else> (only in an tmpl_if or tmpl_unless tag). The problem is that
the template tags can occur just about anywhere in the HTML tree.
I have succeeded in some aspects by tweaking the tables in HTML::Tagset,
but there are still many situations where HTML::TreeBuilder breaks the
HTML::Template syntax.
Some examples:
1. <tmpl_loop> and <tmpl_if> within <select> and <table> sections does not
work properly, as HTML::TreeBuilder closes <tmpl>-tags and implicitly
adds <select>. Example:
<select name="mooh">
<tmpl_loop name="alternatives">
<option><tmpl_var name="name"></option>
</tmpl_loop>
</select>
Becomes:
<select name="mooh">
<tmpl_loop name="alternatives">
<select>
<option><tmpl_var name="name"></option>
</select>
</tmpl_loop>
</select>
2. HTML::TreeBuilder escapes anything in a <textarea>, which does not work
when I want a <tmpl>-tag within the <textarea> tag.
My questions are: Has anyone done this? What is needed to make
HTML::TreeBuilder accept the HTML::Template syntax? Some simple
subclassing, or a major rewrite?
Regards,
Stefan
PS: HTML::Template and HTML::TreeBuilder is still compatible, since all
template tags can be written as comments (<!-- tmpl_var name="spam" -->),
but this does not give me the possibility of syntax checking and other
HTML::Tree advantages.
