NAME

Template::Manual - User guide and reference manual for the
Template Toolkit

DESCRIPTION

This is the comprehensive user guide and reference manual
for the Template Toolkit.

Template::Manual::Intro: Introduction to the Template Toolkit; This section provides a general introduction to the
Template Toolkit, giving a quick overview of features,
examples of template directives and use of the Tem
plate.pm module. It also described the basic concept
underlying the toolkit: the separation of presentation
elements from application logic and data.
Template::Manual::Syntax: Directive syntax, structure and semantics; This section describes the syntax, structure and
semantics of the Template Toolkit directives and gen
eral presentation language.
Template::Manual::Directives: Template directives; This section provides a reference of all Template
Toolkit directives, complete with examples of use.
Template::Manual::Variables: Template variables and code bindings; This section describes the different ways in which
Perl data can be bound to template variables and
accessed via Template Toolkit directives.
Template::Manual::VMethods: Virtual Methods; The Template Toolkit provides virtual methods for
manipulating variable values. Most of them are analo
gous to regular Perl functions of the same names. This
section describes the different virtual methods that
can be applied to scalar, list and hash values.
Template::Manual::Config: Configuration options; This section contains details of all the configuration
options that can be used to customise the behaviour
and extend the features of the Template Toolkit.
Template::Manual::Filters: Standard filters; This section lists all the standard filters dis
tributed with the Template Toolkit for post-processing
output.
Template::Manual::Plugins: Standard plugins; This section lists the standard plugins which can be
used to extend the runtime functionality of the Tem
plate Toolkit. The plugins are distributed with the
Template Toolkit but may required additional modules
from CPAN.
Template::Manual::Internals: Template Toolkit internals; This document provides an overview of the internal
architecture of the Template Toolkit. It is a work in
progress and is far from complete, currently providing
little more than an overview of how the major compo
nents fit together. Nevertheless, it's a good starting
point for anyone wishing to delve into the source code
to find out how it all works.
Template::Manual::Views: Template Toolkit views (experimental); This section describes dynamic views: a powerful but
experimental new feature in version 2.01 of the Tem
plate Toolkit.
Template::Manual::Refs: Related modules, projects and other resources; This section provides references to external modules,
projects and other resources related to the Template
Toolkit.
Template::Manual::Credits: Author and contributor credits; This section provides a brief history of the Template
Toolkit and details the primary author and numerous
other people who have contributed to it.
