Oooh. I like this. The examples could probably do with an example
that's slightly more XML->HTML like rather than just HTML->HTML:
Something like:
[% USE xmlstyle
video = {
pre_start = '<html><head><title="Video Details"></head><body>'
element = 'table'
attributes = { class='videoTable' },
post_end = '</body></html>'
}
title = {
pre_start = '<tr><td>Title:</td>'
element = 'td'
attributes = { class='videoTitle' }
post_end = '</tr>'
}
price = {
pre_start = '<tr><td>Price:</td>'
element = 'td'
attributes = { class='videoPrice' }
post_end = '</tr>'
}
%]
[% FILTER xmlstyle %]
<video>
<title>La Double Vie De Veronique Veronique</title>
<price>10.99</price>
</video>
[% END %]
This seems like an interesting way to either move gradually to a 'real'
XSLT implementation, or do enough in this direction to convince your
boss that you can get most of the benefits of XSLT anyway. (Well, until
client side XSLT becomes more of a reality).
