Type 'make' to produce working example. + + Example +Example sets some data and applies the translator. +Play with input.ntl, passing it to the example as './tl_example < input.ntl'. + + Usage +Form any data you want in tl_list with tl_new, tl_named_data, +tl_named_list and tl_plain_list and pass the data into tl_translate. +It will substitute any {name} with data of name, and any +@name{body} with body repeatedly translated for each element in list of name, +so the same rules as for whole text are applied for body, +but in context extended with the element named elements. +Also you can screen characters with \, so \@ is @ in output, +however newline character will disapear, you can output it with \n. + + Motivation +Templates can be fun and simple. |
