HTML report generation

Devel::Cover::Web contains a number of static files that are saved when a report is generated: cover.css common.js css.js standardista-table-sorting.js

Report formats are: html|html_minimal (default) html_basic html_subtle

They are implemented in: Devel::Cover::Report::Html is just a subclass of Devel::Cover::Report::Html_minimal Devel::Cover::Report::Html_basic Devel::Cover::Report::Html_subtle exists, but is probably not used by anyone.

Minimal was written by Michael Carman. One of the goals was to keep the output as small as possible and he decided not to use templates. Unfortunately, minimal does not handle uncovered code correctly and, whilst the truth tables are nice, they are not always correct when there are many variables. This is currently the default.

Basic handles uncovered code correctly and the conditions are displayed correctly, if not as nicely as in minimal. It also allows for coloured code.
