xml::tmx::writer

XML::TMX::Writer(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     XML::TMX::Writer(3pm)

NAME

       XML::TMX::Writer - Perl extension for writing TMX files

SYNOPSIS

	  use XML::TMX::Writer;

	  my $tmx = new XML::TMX::Writer();

	  $tmx->start_tmx(id => 'paulojjs');

	  $tmx->add_tu(SRCLANG => 'en', 'en' => 'some text', 'pt' => 'algum texto');
	  $tmx->add_tu(SRCLANG => 'en',
		       'en' => 'some text',
		       'pt' => 'algum texto',
			-note => [32, 34 ],
			-prop => { q => 23,
				  aut => "jj"}
		      );

	  $tmx->end_tmx();

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a simple way for writing TMX files.

METHODS

       The following methods are available:

   new
	 $tmx = new XML::TMX::Writer();

       Creates a new XML::TMX::Writer object

   start_tmx
	 $tmx->start_tmx(-output => 'some_file.tmx');

       Begins a TMX file. Several options are available:

       -output
	   Output of the TMX, if none is defined stdout is used by default.

       tool
	   Tool used to create the TMX. Defaults to 'XML::TMX::Writer'

       toolversion
	   Some version identification of the tool used to create the TMX. Defaults to the current module version

       segtype
	   Segment type used in the <tu> elements. Possible values are block, paragraph, sentence and phrase. Defaults to sentence.

       srctmf
	   Specifies the format of the translation memory file from which the TMX document or segment thereof have been generated.

       adminlang
	   Specifies the default language for the administrative and informative elements <note> and <prop>.

       srclang
	   Specifies the language of the source text. If a <tu> element does not have a srclang attribute specified, it uses the one defined in
	   the <header> element. Defaults to *all*.

       datatype
	   Specifies the type of data contained in the element. Depending on that type, you may apply different processes to the data.

	   The recommended values for the datatype attribute are as follow (this list is not exhaustive):

	   unknown
	       undefined

	   alptext
	       WinJoust data

	   cdf Channel Definition Format

	   cmx Corel CMX Format

	   cpp C and C++ style text

	   hptag
	       HP-Tag

	   html
	       HTML, DHTML, etc

	   interleaf
	       Interleaf documents

	   ipf IPF/BookMaster

	   java
	       Java, source and property files

	   javascript
	       JavaScript, ECMAScript scripts

	   lisp
	       Lisp

	   mif Framemaker MIF, MML, etc

	   opentag
	       OpenTag data

	   pascal
	       Pascal, Delphi style text

	   plaintext
	       Plain text (default)

	   pm  PageMaker

	   rtf Rich Text Format

	   sgml
	       SGML

	   stf-f
	       S-Tagger for FrameMaker

	   stf-i
	       S-Tagger for Interleaf

	   transit
	       Transit data

	   vbscript
	       Visual Basic scripts

	   winres
	       Windows resources from RC, DLL, EXE

	   xml XML

	   xptag
	       Quark XPressTag

       srcencoding
	   All TMX documents are in Unicode. However, it is sometimes useful to know what code set was used to encode text that was converted to
	   Unicode for purposes of interchange. This option specifies the original or preferred code set of the data of the element in case it is
	   to be re-encoded in a non-Unicode code set. Defaults to none.

       id  Specifies the identifier of the user who created the element. Defaults to none.

       -note
	   A reference to a list of notes to be added in the header.

       -prop
	   A reference fo a hash of properties to be added in the header. Keys are used as the "type" attribute, value as the tag contents.

   add_tu
	 $tmx->add_tu(srclang => LANG1, LANG1 => 'text1', LANG2 => 'text2');
	 $tmx->add_tu(srclang => LANG1,
		      LANG1 => 'text1',
		      LANG2 => 'text2',
		      -note => ["value1",  ## notes
			       "value2"],
		      -prop => { type1 => ["value1","value"], #multiple values
				 _ => 'value2',  # anonymound properties
				typen => ["valuen"],}
		     );

       Adds a translation unit to the TMX file. Several optional labels can be specified:

       id  Specifies an identifier for the <tu> element. Its value is not defined by the standard (it could be unique or not, numeric or
	   alphanumeric, etc.).

       srcencoding
	   Same meaning as told in start_tmx method.

       datatype
	   Same meaning as told in start_tmx method.

       segtype
	   Same meaning as told in start_tmx method.

       srclang
	   Same meaning as told in start_tmx method.

   end_tmx
	 $tmx->end_tmx();

       Ends the TMX file, closing file handles if necessary.
