NAME
       Template::Library::HTML - Template library for building basic HTML pages

DESCRIPTION
       NOTE: This documentation is incomplete and may be incorrect in places.

       The 'html' template library is distributed as part of the Template Toolkit.  It can be
       found in the 'templates' sub-directory of the installation directory.

           use Template;

           my $tt2 = Template->new({
               INCLUDE_PATH => '/usr/local/tt2/templates',
           });

       For a portable way to determine the installation 'templates' directory, you can use the
       "Template::Config->instdir()" class method.

           use Template;

           my $tt2 = Template->new({
               INCLUDE_PATH => Template::Config->instdir('templates'),
           });

       You should now be able to access the html library as, for example:

           [% INCLUDE html/header %]

       Note that some of the more basic elements don't give you much more than the raw HTML tags.
       In many cases you might be well advised to stick to regular HTML rather than complicating
       matters by the use of template elements.

       e.g.

           <table>
             . . .
           </table>

       vs

           [% WRAPPER html/table %]
              . . .
           [% END %]

       However, the use of template elements to generate the underlying HTML does have some
       important benefits, particularly as the constructs start to get more complicated and more
       magical.

       See the example in the 'examples' sub-directory of the distribution directory for further
       examples and enlightenment on using this library.

   Headers, Footers and Pages
       header
           The 'header' element generates the regular header required as the pre-amble for an
           HTML document.  That is, everything from the initial <html> to the opening <body>.

               [% INCLUDE html/header
                    title = 'This is a Test'
                    bgcol = '#ffffff'
               %]

           Additional header items can be provided by explicitly setting the 'headers' variable,
           e.g.

               [% headers = BLOCK %]
               <META name="description" content="Template Toolkit">
               <META name="REVISIT-AFTER" content="14 days">
               <META name="keywords" content="Templates, Web, ...etc...">
               [% END %]

               [% INCLUDE html/header
                    title = 'This is a Test'
                    bgcol = '#ffffff'
               %]

       footer
           The 'footer' element generates the terminating </body> and </html> element to balance
           the header.

               [% PROCESS html/header %]

               ...page content here...

               [% PROCESS html/footer %]

       page
           The 'page' element combines the 'html/header' and 'html/footer' elements.

               [% WRAPPER html/page %]

               ...page content here...

               [% END %]

           Page content should be defined in the 'content' variable (e.g. via WRAPPER).
           Additional HTML headers should be defined in the 'headers' variable.

               [% WRAPPER html/page
                   headers = '<META name="keywords" content="foo, bar, ...">'
               %]

               ...page content here...

               [% END %]

   Tables, Bars and Boxes

           A basic element for creating HTML tables.

                   <td>Hello</td> <td>World</td>
                  </tr>

                   <td>Hello</td> <td>World</td>
