Two Template Toolkit questions

[nop]

Two small questions on TT2:

• How do I escape apostrophes? eg I'd like have a proper apostrophe in the word "dont" in this code:

  [% header(title='Dont try this') %]
  

• How do I use a TT2 variable in a TT2 function call? eg if  [% c1 %] is a TT2 variable, how do I do something like this?

   
  [% CGI.textfield(name =>"copy1", size=>50, maxlength=>50, default=>c1)
  +%]
  

  The code above breaks the quote.

Thanks

Just like Perl, you can use single or double quotes:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Template;

my $template = Template->new();
$template->process( 
   \*DATA, { runme => sub { return "<$_[0]->{title}>" } } );
__DATA__
[% runme( title = "don't try this" ) %]

Produces:

<don't try this>

I admit I haven't used this module, but you have tried 'Don\'t try this'? If you are looking for the HTML escape though, I think it is "'".

Well, after scratching my head a bit, I realized the second one is fine. It looked broken (it wasn't) because  c1 was coming from a database field and was right-packed with spaces -- almost 1200 of them.

Still wondering about my 1st question, tho
