Template::Library::HTML 2.15

Template::Library::HTML is a template library for building basic HTML pages.

NOTE: This documentation is incomplete and may be incorrect in places. The html template library is distributed as part of the Template Toolkit. It can be found in the templates sub-directory of the installation directory.

use Template;

my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => /usr/local/tt2/templates,
});
For a portable way to determine the installation templates directory, you can use the Template::Config->instdir() class method.
use Template;

my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => Template::Config->instdir(templates),
});
You should now be able to access the html library as, for example:
[% INCLUDE html/header %]
Note that some of the more basic elements dont give you much more than the raw HTML tags. In many cases you might be well advised to stick to regular HTML rather than complicating matters by the use of template elements.
e.g.
< table >
. . .
< /table >
vs
[% WRAPPER html/table %]
. . .
[% END %]

However, the use of template elements to generate the underlying HTML does have some important benefits, particularly as the constructs start to get more complicated and more magical.

See the example in the examples sub-directory of the distribution directory for further examples and enlightenment on using this library.
