DESCRIPTION
This module provides a few utility functions which can be used in your templates for your convenience. These include functions to
(un)escape and (en/de)code URLs.
METHODS
expand_tabs( $str, [$tabwidth] )
Receives a string that might contain tabs in it, and replaces those tabs with spaces, each tab with the number of spaces defined by
$tabwidth, or, if $tabwidth was not passed, with 8 spaces.
escape_xml( $str )
Receives a string of XML (or (x)HTML) code and converts the characters <>&' to HTML entities. This is the method that is invoked when you
use [= $expression =] in your templates.
unescape_xml( $str )
Receives a string of escaped XML (or (x)HTML) code (for example, a string that was escaped with the escape_xml() function, and 'unescapes'
all HTML entities back to their actual characters.
encode_url( $url )
Receives a URL and encodes it by escaping 'non-standard' characters.
decode_url( $url )
Does the opposite of encode_url().
checked( $val )
Receives a value of some sort, and if it is a true value, returns the string ' checked="checked"' which can be appended to HTML checkboxes.
selected( $val )
Receives a value of some sort, and if it is a true value, returns the string ' selected="selected"' which can be used in an option in an
HTML select box.
disabled( $val )
Receives a value of some sort, and if it is a true value, returns the string ' disabled="disabled"' which can be used in an HTML input.
nl2br( $text )
Receives a string of text containing lines delimited by newline characters (
, or possibly
) and appends an HTML line break (<br />)
to every line (the newline character is left untouched).
text2html( $text )
Receives a string of text containing lines delimited by newline characters, and possibly some XML (or (x)HTML) code, escapes that code with
escape_xml() and then appends an HTML line break to every line with nl2br().
tagattr( $name, $expr, [$value] )
tagattrs( %attrs )
new_cycle( @items )
Creates a subroutine reference that can be used for cycling through the items of the @items array. So, for example, you can:
my $cycle = new_cycle(qw/red green blue/);
print $cycle->(); # prints 'red'
print $cycle->(); # prints 'green'
print $cycle->(); # prints 'blue'
print $cycle->(); # prints 'red' again
INTERNAL(?) METHODS
_p( $expression )
Wraps a Perl expression in a customized wrapper which will be processed by the Tenjin preprocessor and replaced with the standard [==
$expression =].
_P( $expression )
Wrap a Perl expression in a customized wrapper which will be processed by the Tenjin preprocessor and replaced with the standard [=
$expression =], which means the expression will be escaped.
_decode_params( $s )
