| I have two questions
regarding the use of filters. I use the Template Toolkit via ttree rather
than writing custom Perl code that uses the underlying modules. First
question: Is it possible to define and use custom filters via ttree? I'm
hoping to avoid having to customize and rebuild my installation of
TT.
Second question: I
can't quite figure out the syntax for chaining filters. I would like to
replace:
[% FILTER
indent("\t") %]
[% FILTER wrap(95) %]
[% FILTER html_entity %]
A long
block of raw text to be converted to HTML, wrapped, and
indented...
[% END %]
[% END
%]
[% END
%]
With:
[% FILTER html_entity | wrap(95) | indent("\t")
%]
...
The rather short
explanation of filter chaining in the documentation seems to imply ;(to me,
at least) that this is possible. However, I get a syntax error that
complains about the "|" after the first filter
(html_entity).
Either solution, a
custom filter that encapsulates a few others, or the ability to chain, would
sure save me a lot of typing...
Thanks!
Dustin
