DESCRIPTION

WARNING: Codebase is alpha with extreme prejudice. Assume that bugs are teeming and that the API is subject to change.

Template::Caribou is a Moose-based, class-centric templating system mostly aimed at producing sgml-like outputs, mostly HTML, but also XML, SVG, etc. It is heavily inspired by Template::Declare.

For a manual on how to use Template::Caribou, have a peek at Template::Caribou::Manual.

METHODS

pretty_render()

Returns true if rendered templates are passed through the prettifier.

enable_pretty_render( $bool )

if set to true, rendered templates will be filtered by a prettifier before being returned by the render() method.

import_template_dir( $directory )

Imports all the files with a .bou extension in $directory as templates (non-recursively).

Returns the name of the imported templates.

show( $template, @args )

Outside of a template, behaves like render(). In a template, prints out the result of the rendering in addition of returning it.
