( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I confess I've got no ideas that don't involve ugly hacks to my data and the template (such as storing a special variable in the array every time it changes level.

Don't think of it as an ugly hack. Think of it as one of life's many trade-offs. You're doing some set-up in code so that you don't have to contort your template.

If the depth of the tree you're dealing with can't be bounded, you can generate indentations in code, and do something like

<tmpl_loop tree> <div class="leaf" style="margin-left: <tmpl_var margin>px"> ... </di +v>
This has the upside of giving you fine-grain control over indentation, with the downside of that control being in code rather than in your template.

If the depth of the tree is bounded, you can move presentation into the stylesheet by generating a simple depth count in code. In the template, do something like

<tmpl_loop tree> <div class="leaf depth<tmpl_var depth>"> ... </div>
and provide corresponding depth0, depth1, etc. targets in your stylesheet, with the generic style in leaf.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
