[[template id=plugin name=template included=1 author="""[[Joey]]"""]]
[[tag type/format]]
With this plugin, you can set up templates, and cause them to be filled out
and inserted into pages in the wiki. Using a template works like this:
\[[template id=foo name="Charley" color="red" age=11]]
This fills out the template `templates/foo`, filling in the `color` and `age`
fields on it with the specified values, and inserts the result into the page.
(Note that if the template doesn't exist, the page will provide a link that
can be used to create it.)
A value can include any markup that would be allowed in the wiki page
outside the template. Triple-quoting the value even allows quotes to be
included in it. Combined with multi-line quoted values, this allows for
large chunks of marked up text to be embedded into a template:
\[[template id=foo name="Sally" color="green" age=8 notes="""
* \[[Charley]]'s sister.
* "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up."
* Really 8 and a half.
"""]]
To create a template, make a page in the wiki named `template/foo`. Note
that this is a different location than the directory used for the
[[templates]] used to build the wiki itself, which is not inside the wiki.
The template uses the syntax used by the HTML::Template perl module, which
allows for some fairly complex things to be done. Consult its documentation
for the full syntax, but all you really need to know are a few things:
* To insert the value of a variable, use `<TMPL_VAR variable>`.
* To make a block of text conditional on a variable being set use
`<TMPL_IF NAME="variable">text</TMPL_IF>`.
* To use one block of text if a variable is set and a second if it's not,
use `<TMPL_IF NAME="variable">text<TMPL_ELSE>other text</TMPL_IF>`
Here's a sample template:
<span class="infobox">
Name: <TMPL_VAR name><br />
Age: <TMPL_VAR age><br />
<TMPL_IF NAME="color">
Favorite color: <TMPL_VAR color><br />
<TMPL_ELSE>
No favorite color.<br />
</TMPL_IF>
<TMPL_IF NAME="notes">
<hr />
<TMPL_VAR notes>
</TMPL_IF>
</span>
