Template::Plugin::Textile2(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   Template::Plugin::Textile2(3pm)

NAME

       Template::Plugin::Textile2 - Use Textile formatting with Template Toolkit

SYNOPSIS

	 [% USE Textile2 -%]
	 [% FILTER textile2 %]This *bold* and this is _italic_.[% END %]

	 <p>this is <strong>bold</strong> and this is <em>italic</em>.

	 [% USE Textile2 ( disable_html => 1 ) -%]
	 [% FILTER textile2 %]this is<br /> _italic_.[% END %]

	 <p>this is&lt;br /&gt; <em>italic</em>.</p>

DESCRIPTION

       This module wraps Text::Textile into a plugin Template Toolkit.	It provides a filter named "textile2".	This aims to be a more feature-
       full version Template::Plugin::Textile, by allowing you to pass parameters to Text::Textile.

       Use this way:

	   [% FILTER textile2 %]
	   Reasons to use the Template Toolkit:

	   * Seperation of concerns.
	   * It's written in Perl.
	   * Badgers are Still Cool.
	   [% END %]

       or:

	   [% mytext | textile2 %]

       You can pass the same options you would pass to Text::Textile, directly when using the template. For instance to disable processing of HTML
       tags you can do:

	   [% USE Textile2 ( disable_html => 1 ) %]

       To avoid your text to be wrapped into "&lt;p&gt...&lt;/p&gt" you can use:

	   [% USE Textile2 ( format_mode => 'inline' ) %]

       See Text::Textile for details.
