    title="DESCRIPTION"
-%]<p>
The HTML plugin is very new and very basic, implementing a few useful
methods for generating HTML.  It is likely to be extended in the future
or integrated with a larger project to generate HTML elements in a generic
way (as discussed recently on the mod_perl mailing list).
</p>
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER section
    title="METHODS"
-%][% WRAPPER subsection
   title = "escape(text)"
-%]<p>
Returns the source text with any HTML reserved characters such as 
&lt;, &gt;, etc., correctly esacped to their entity equivalents.
</p>
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER subsection
   title = "attributes(hash)"
-%]<p>
Returns the elements of the hash array passed by reference correctly
formatted (e.g. values quoted and correctly escaped) as attributes for
an HTML element.
</p>
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER subsection
   title = "element(type, attributes)"
-%]<p>
Generates an HTML element of the specified type and with the attributes
provided as an optional hash array reference as the second argument or
as named arguments.
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] HTML.element(table =&gt; { border =&gt; 1, cellpadding =&gt; 2 }) [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] HTML.element('table', border=1, cellpadding=2) [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] HTML.element(table =&gt; attribs) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
[%- END %]
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER section
    title="DEBUGGING"
-%]<p>
The HTML plugin accepts a 'sorted' option as a constructor argument
which, when set to any true value, causes the attributes generated by
the attributes() method (either directly or via element()) to be
returned in sorted order.  Order of attributes isn't important in
HTML, but this is provided mainly for the purposes of debugging where
it is useful to have attributes generated in a deterministic order
rather than whatever order the hash happened to feel like returning
the keys in.
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE HTML(sorted=1) [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] HTML.element( foo =&gt; { charlie =&gt; 1, bravo =&gt; 2, alpha =&gt; 3 } ) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
<p>
generates:
</p>
<pre>    &lt;foo alpha=&quot;3&quot; bravo=&quot;2&quot; charlie=&quot;1&quot;&gt;</pre>
