Hi, I glanced through the Petal docs and am very impressed - it puts my HTML::Seamstress to shame. I did not see an example of how to make alternating table rows using different style information (usually the variation is background color). Could someone show how that is done in Petal. Regards

I set this up the other day for some tables in MKDoc 1.8 (we must
set up viewcvs or something...), this is a extract from the
audience_list template, it's basically a matter of repeating the
row, this has the advantage that when you view the file in a browser
or WYSIWYG editor you get to see two different rows, one thing that
I don't know how to avoid is the ugly div that has to be omitted:
<table>
<div
petal:omit-tag=""
petal:repeat="audience self/audiences"
>
<!--? The odd row comes before the even row ?-->
<tr
class="odd"
petal:condition="true: repeat/odd"
>
<td>
<!-- stuff here -->
</td>

The thing is, they are both templating systems -- they both parse templates, create cached copies of them, and render them. They even have a similar invocation syntax. From the user's POV, the only thing that differs is the syntax. In an ideal world, Petal would just be a flavour of TT3, which from my understanding, is simply an engine for writing templating systems that have different syntax. So the idea is: share the common foundation, and keep the different template languages. The idea is this kind of engineering change would be transparent to users - they wouldn't realize or even care that they're using the TT3 engine. But they'd benefit from it's features (f.e: better template(Continue reading)

You should try sending a message to the mailing list administrator and see if they have any ideas. I've CC'ed the list with this message to see if it gets through.

Fixed, Josh's mail was being refused because it was relayed from a server with an invalid hostname. Josh you need to give your computer a hostname other than "node1", "node1.narins.net" will do fine. -- -- Bruno
Hello Petal People,
I would like to do dynamic includes like this...
$template->process({ extra_content => '/other.xml'})
And have the file referred to by "extra_content" in the href
attribute of this this template:
<xi:include href="" />
or this file attribute of this one...
<?include file=""?>
But I can't seem to get either to work.
Thanks in advance,
Josh Narins

I can't help with the Perl code you need, but FWIW both the include
syntaxes you have been trying are old hacks and the best way to do this
is using macros, these take a bit of getting used to but they are a lot
more powerful, they are documented here:

In addition to getting the odd or even status of the loop item..
petal:condition="true: repeat/even"
..you can do this sort of thing:
petal:condition="true: repeat/start"
petal:condition="true: repeat/inner"
petal:condition="true: repeat/end"

These methods are documented, but only when used with the old
deprecated syntax:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Petal/lib/Petal/Deprecated.pm#loops
Until the documentation for normal Petal syntax is fixed, you need
to refer to that.

Thanks for the info. I've been using the old XInclude format since it was introduced as a replacement for the original technique. Using METAL, it looks like I can keep all my includes in a single file and reference the various sections as needed. That's pretty useful.
