new

use A1z::HTML5::Template;
my $h = A1z::HTML5::Template->new();

body_js_css

Add/include javascript and css files just above </body> section 

Typically, CSS files should/are not be used here. 

Default behavior: 

	$h->body_js_css();
	
	Includes 
		jquery 1.12.4, jquery ui 1.11.4, bootstrap 3.3.0, 
		javascript for #dialog function, #menu, #accordion, #tabs 

Add your own .js file: 
	
	use $h->body_js_css("/path/to/js/file.js");
	
You can use both to include default .js files and your own custom .js file. 

end_html

Provides </html>

head_title

Provides <title></title>

$h->head_title("App/Page Title");

head_meta

Provides <meta ... >. Includes the following by default:

	HandheldFriendly
	viewport

$h->head_meta();

Just like body_js_css, you can use both to add default values and your own meta

So, get a copy from bootstrap 3 and store it on your server.

end_head

C<say $h->body_accordion( $h->open_file("/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt", "table", "Name and Price");

This is the heart of the App, A1z::HTML5::Template, quite a long sub/method comprising of about 292 lines including empty lines. 

edit_file

	Edit your app/page/site. Customize HTML produced by A1z::HTML5::Template. 

	Creates a form to edit contents of a file. 

	The contents of this file should be in a special format. See open_file_example.txt. 

	Data is stored in simple text files in the app's home dir.  

	We recommend creating a separate file for editing/writing purposes, e.g., "TemplateAdmin.cgi"

	use lib '/path/to/app';

	use A1z::HTML5::Template;
	my $h = A1z::HTML5::Template->new();

	say $h->header('utf8');
	say $h->start_html(); 
	say $h->head_title("Edit App"); 
	say $h->head_meta();
	say $h->head_js_css();  
	say $h->end_head(); 
	say $h->begin_body();

	# Show edit form

 	say $h->body_article( 

		header => "Edit page items", 

		action => "TemplateAdmin.cgi",

		content => $h->edit_file( file => "/absolute/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt") 
	);

	# Save Customizations back to the same file.

	# include write_file if you submit form to the same file ( TemplateAdmin.cgi )

	say $h->body_article( 

		header => "<a href='$sys{cgiurl}/TemplateAdmin.cgi' title='Refresh to get the latest/saved content'>Refresh</a> ", 

		content => $h->write_file( file => "/absolute/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt")
	 
	);

	say $h->body_js_css(); 
	say $h->end_body();
	say $h->end_html(); 

write_file

See documentation for 'edit_file.'
my $images = $h->display_gallery_thumbnails(

	images_dir => "{images_dir}",
	thumbs_dir => "{thumbs_dir}",
	
	images_url => "{images_url}",
	thumbs_url => "{thumbs_url}",

	width => "100",
	height => "100"
);
