Re^5: Newlines in HTML::LoL

how annoying. This is the example in the POD:

&hl(sub { print shift },
      [table => {border => 2, width => '80%'},
       [tr =>
        [td => {nowrap => &hl_bool(1)}, 'This & that'],
        [td => {nowrap => &hl_bool(0)}, '<b>This is not bold</b>'],
        [td => [b => 'But this is']],
        [td => &hl_noquote('<b>And so is this</b>')]]]);
[download]

and it produces:

<table border="2" width="80%">
 <tr>
  <td nowrap>This &amp; that</td>
  <td>&lt;b&gt;This is not bold&lt;/b&gt;</td>
  <td><b>But this is</b></td>
  <td><b>And so is this</b></td>
 </tr>
</table>
[download]

I can't figure out what's right with their example and what's wrong with my usage.. and it doens't look like there's another module for generating HTML structurally ... sigh

> and it doens't look like there's another module for generating HTML structurally Sure CGI does, it's just now only documented in CGI::HTML::Functions And though it's not officially maintained anymore it's for sure a better bet than "19 year-old abandonware" (quoting Your Mother here) edit and after further reading there is also HTML::Tiny update And there is DSL::HTML which "takes the alternative approach, but does it in a significantly more elegent way." I intentionally left the typo in the quote ... you'll notice it has an "early version warning" and no changes since 2013 Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Thanks for the pointers. I already have the CGI module, I didn't know it was the html-generation stuff broken out. I also found another module that is fascinating me: HTML::TagTree. Everything is objects and the HTML tags are methods. whtn you create a table, your $table is a TagTree object {it says that every HMTL tag is a method} and it seems to produce nice-looking code. More to play with :)	[reply]
