[htmltmpl] Valid XHTML templates

[Tobias G. <lis...@e-...>]

Hi!

Is there any way to use a valid XHTML document as template? As far as I tried 
this seems to be not possible.

e.g.:

[1] valid XHTML, working:

<title><tmpl_var name="title"/></title>


[2] valid XHTML, but not working:

<option value="&lt;tmpl_var name&gt"><tmpl_var name="name"/></option>


[3] invalid XHTML, not working either

<option value="<tmpl_var name>"><tmpl_var name="name"/></option>


[4] invalid XHTML, but working (just removed the slash, this worked in [1]!)

<option value="<tmpl_var name>"><tmpl_var name="name"></option>


The template needs to be valid xml, to be processed for translations. My
current solution is to transform the valid XHTML to an invalid template
that HTML::Template can deal with. But I would prefer feeding HTML::Template
directly with the XHTML file.

Any ideas?

Someone mentioned a patch to use {%TMPL_xxx%} instead of <TMPL_xxx>. Is there
already a working version of this patch available?

bye,

Tobias

I wrote the following filter for that reason (and also WYSIWYG editors), but
didn't get any feedback on whether this was worth trying to integrate.

sub filter_template {
    my $text_ref = shift @_;
    $$text_ref =~ s/\{%(.*?)%\}/<tmpl_var name="$1">/g;
}

It seems that HTML/XHTML validation should be possible by default. I
considered using *vanguard_compatibility_mode* flag but since I know nothing
of vangard or how long it would remain compatible....

Ah... I didn't thought of implementing this as a filter for Html::Template.
This might have some impact on the performance, but I think it's worth a try.

Thanks for the hint!

Now I just need a nice tool to translate the XHTML using a po-file. The only 
thing I know of is xml2po (Python). But I think this shouldn't be hard to do
in Perl too.

Does this work?

   <title><!-- tmpl_var name="title" --></title>

I've built sites using H::T that are valid XHTML, but I focus on the 
output, not the template itself...

It's not really xhtml, but valid xml.

This will work. It's more difficult, when it comes to attribute values, where 
html comments will not work. But {% tmpl_var name="title" %} works well for me 
now. I simply replace this with a filter.
