Re: [htmltmpl] Coding up a three column table...

[Mathew R. <mat...@re...>]

if you are using H::T::E you can leave your output formatting to the =
template, and leave your Perl code as a single loop (with no embedded =
loops). eg:

my @loop;
for ... {
  push @loop, something;
}
$t->param(loop =3D> \@loop);


<!-- want 3 columns -->

<table ...>
   <TMPL_LOOP loop>
      <TMPL_IF EXPR=3D"(__counter % 3) =3D=3D 1">
         <tr>
      </TMPL_IF>

            <td>
                 <TMPL_VAR blah>
            </td>
      <TMPL_IF EXPR=3D"(__counter % 3) =3D=3D 0">
         </tr>
      </TMPL_IF>
   </TMPL_LOOP>
</table>

In this example, the formatting out the HTML is completly in the hands =
of the template -> the Perl code need not know anything about how the =
array will get displayed.

PS.  I use it to make a 3-column display of an image gallery - =
