Hi Jason,
You don't need to write a plugin to define your filter. You can do it
like so:
my $tt2 = Template->new( FILTERS => { latex => \&latex_escape } );
sub latex_escape {
...etc...
}
The benefit of writing a plugin to define your filter is so that you
can USE it from a template without having to define the FILTERS option
when you create the TT object.
However, if you subclass the Template::Plugin::Filter module, then
your filter method must be called 'filter'.
package MyOrg::Template::Plugin::latex_escape;
use Template::Plugin::Filter;
use base qw( Template::Plugin::Filter );
sub filter {
my $return = $_[0];
$return =~ s/([%&\$])/\\$1/g;
return $return;
}
1;
Or you can just create a regular plugin (subclass Template::Plugin) and
call the $context->define_filter() method to define one or more filters.
