NAME
Template::Plugin::Wrap - Plugin interface to Text::Wrap SYNOPSIS
[% USE wrap %] # call wrap subroutine [% wrap(mytext, width, initial_tab, subsequent_tab) %] # or use wrap FILTER [% mytext FILTER wrap(width, initital_tab, subsequent_tab) %] DESCRIPTION
This plugin provides an interface to the Text::Wrap module which provides simple paragraph formatting. It defines a "wrap" subroutine which can be called, passing the input text and further optional parameters to specify the page width (default: 72), and tab characters for the first and subsequent lines (no defaults). [% USE wrap %] [% text = BLOCK %] First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. [% END %] [% wrap(text, 40, '* ', ' ') %] Output: * First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. It also registers a "wrap" filter which accepts the same three optional arguments but takes the input text directly via the filter input. Example 1: [% FILTER bullet = wrap(40, '* ', ' ') -%] First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. [%- END %] Output: * First, attach the transmutex multiplier to the cross-wired quantum homogeniser. Example 2: [% FILTER bullet -%] Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking care to correct the phase difference. [% END %] Output: * Then remodulate the shield to match the harmonic frequency, taking care to correct the phase difference. AUTHOR
