NAME

DSL::HTML::Compiler - Compile HTML into DSL::HTML templates

DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions that let you take HTML files or strings and convert them into DSL::HTML templates. This is particularily useful if you have a designer build your page layout in HTML and need to convert it to a template before adding logic.

SYNOPSYS

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use DSL::HTML::Compiler;

my $tc = compile_from_file( 'bar', "/path/to/file.html" );

my $template_code = compile_from_html( 'foo', <<EOT );
<html>
    <head>
        <title>foo</title>
        <link href="b.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <script src="a.js"></script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div id="foo" class="bar baz">
            xxx
        </div>
        <p>
        yyyy
        <div id="foo" class="bar baz">
            xxx
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
EOT

# Only necessary if your html contains utf8, or in some cases when no ascii
# character can be used as a delimiter due to text content.
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
print $template_code;

This will print the following that can be inserted into a perl module:

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use DSL::HTML;

template foo {
    tag head {
        tag title {
            text q'foo';
        }

        css q'b.css';

        js q'a.js';
    }

    tag div('class' => q'bar baz', 'id' => q'foo') {
        text q' xxx ';
    }

    tag p {
        text q' yyyy ';

        tag div('class' => q'bar baz', 'id' => q'foo') {
            text q' xxx ';
        }
    }
}

1;

Delimiter for qX...X is chosen via a fall-through (see delimiters)
