NAME

XML::Writer::Simple - Create XML files easily!

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    use XML::Writer::Simple dtd => "file.dtd";

    print para("foo",b("bar"),"zbr");

USAGE

This module takes some ideas from CGI to make easier the life for those who need to generated XML code. You can use the module in three flavours (or combine them):

tags

When importing the module you can specify the tags you will be using:

  use XML::Writer::Simple tags => [qw/p b i tt/];

  print p("Hey, ",b("you"),"! ", i("Yes ", b("you")));

that will generate

 <p>Hey <b>you</b>! <i>Yes <b>you</b></i></p>

dtd

You can supply a DTD, that will be analyzed, and the tags used:

  use XML::Writer::Simple dtd => "tmx.dtd";

  print tu(seg("foo"),seg("bar"));

xml

You can supply an XML (or a reference to a list of XML files). They will be parsed, and the tags used:

  use XML::Writer::Simple xml => "foo.xml";

  print foo("bar");

EXPORT

This module export one function for each element at the dtd or xml file you are using. See below for details.

FUNCTIONS

import

Used when you 'use' the module, should not be used directly.

powertag

Used to specify a powertag. For instance:

  powertag("ul","li");

  ul_li([qw/foo bar zbr ugh/]);

will generate

  <ul>
   <li>foo</li>
   <li>bar</li>
   <li>zbr</li>
   <li>ugh</li>
  </ul>

You can also supply this information when loading the module, with

  use XML::Writer::Simple powertags=>["ul_li","ol_li"];

Powertags support three level tags as well:

  use XML::Writer::Simple powertags=>["table_tr_td"];

  print table_tr_td(['a','b','c'],['d','e','f']);
