NAME
Template::Manual - User guide and reference manual for the Template Toolkit

DESCRIPTION
This is the comprehensive user guide and reference manual for the Template Toolkit.

Template::Manual::Intro
    Introduction to the Template Toolkit

    This section provides a general introduction to the Template Toolkit, giving a quick overview of features, examples of template directives and use of the Template.pm module. It also described the basic concept underlying the toolkit: the separation of presentation elements from application logic and data.

Template::Manual::Syntax
    Directive syntax, structure and semantics

    This section describes the syntax, structure and semantics of the Template Toolkit directives and general presentation language.

Template::Manual::Directives
    Template directives

    This section provides a reference of all Template Toolkit directives, complete with examples of use.

Template::Manual::Variables
    Template variables and code bindings

    This section describes the different ways in which Perl data can be bound to template variables and accessed via Template Toolkit directives.

Template::Manual::VMethods
    Virtual Methods

    The Template Toolkit provides virtual methods for manipulating variable values. Most of them are analogous to regular Perl functions of the same names. This section describes the different virtual methods that can be applied to scalar, list and hash values.

Template::Manual::Config
    Configuration options

    This section contains details of all the configuration options that can be used to customise the behaviour and extend the features of the Template Toolkit.

Template::Manual::Filters
    Standard filters

    This section lists all the standard filters distributed with the Template Toolkit for post-processing output.

Template::Manual::Plugins
    Standard plugins

    This section lists the standard plugins which can be used to extend the runtime functionality of the Template Toolkit. The plugins are distributed with the Template Toolkit but may required additional modules from CPAN.

Template::Manual::Internals
    Template Toolkit internals

    This document provides an overview of the internal architecture of the Template Toolkit. It is a work in progress and is far from complete, currently providing little more than an overview of how the major components fit together. Nevertheless, it's a good starting point for anyone wishing to delve into the source code to find out how it all works.

Template::Manual::Views
    Template Toolkit views (experimental)

    This section describes dynamic views: a powerful but experimental new feature in version 2.01 of the Template Toolkit.

Template::Manual::Refs
    Related modules, projects and other resources

    This section provides references to external modules, projects and other resources related to the Template Toolkit.

Template::Manual::Credits
    Author and contributor credits

    This section provides a brief history of the Template Toolkit and details the primary author and numerous other people who have contributed to it.
