LEARN ABOUT OSX

locale::maketext::extract::plugin::tt2

Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2(3)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		 Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2(3)

NAME

       Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2 - Template Toolkit format parser

SYNOPSIS

	   $plugin = Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2->new(
	       $lexicon 	   # A Locale::Maketext::Extract object
	       @file_types	   # Optionally specify a list of recognised file types
	   )

	   $plugin->extract($filename,$filecontents);

DESCRIPTION

       Extracts strings to localise from Template Toolkit templates.

SHORT PLUGIN NAME

	   tt2

VALID FORMATS

       Valid formats are:

       [% |l(args) %]string[% END %]
       [% 'string' | l(args) %]
       [% l('string',args) %]
       [% c.l('string') %]
	   Also all the above combinations with "c." prepended should work correctly. This is the default syntax when using TT templates with
	   Mojolicious.

       l and loc are interchangeable.

       | and FILTER are interchangeable.

KNOWN FILE TYPES

       .tt
       .tt2
       .html
       .tt.*
       .tt2.*

REQUIRES

       Template

NOTES

       o   BEWARE Using the "loc" form can give false positives if you use the Perl parser plugin on TT files.	If you want to use the "loc" form,
	   then you should specify the file types that you want to the Perl plugin to parse, or enable the default file types, eg:

	      xgetext.pl -P perl ....	     # default file types
	      xgettext.pl -P perl=pl,pm  ... # specified file types

       o   The string-to-be-localised must be a string, not a variable. We try not to extract calls to your localise function which contain
	   variables eg:

	       l('string',arg)	# extracted
	       l(var,arg)	# not extracted

	   This doesn't work for block filters, so don't do that. Eg:

	       [%  FILTER l %]
		  string [% var %]	# BAD!
	       [% END %]

       o   Getting the right line number is difficult in TT. Often it'll be a range of lines, or it may be thrown out by the use of PRE_CHOMP or
	   POST_CHOMP.	It will always be within a few lines of the correct location.

       o   If you have PRE/POST_CHOMP enabled by default in your templates, then you should extract the strings using the same values.	In order
	   to set them, you can use the following wrapper script:

	      #!/usr/bin/perl

	      use Locale::Maketext::Extract::Run qw(xgettext);
	      use Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2();

	      %Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TT2::PARSER_OPTIONS = (
		   PRE_CHOMP  => 1, # or 2
		   POST_CHOMP => 1, # or 2

		   # Also START/END_TAG, ANYCASE, INTERPOLATE, V1DOLLAR, EVAL_PERL
	      );

	      xgettext(@ARGV);
