142 CGI::Pretty - module to produce nicely formatted HTML code
146 use CGI::Pretty qw( :html3 );
148 # Print a table with a single data element
149 print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );
153 CGI::Pretty is a module that derives from CGI. It's sole function is to
154 allow users of CGI to output nicely formatted HTML code.
156 When using the CGI module, the following code:
157 print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );
159 produces the following output:
160 <TABLE><TR><TD>foo</TD></TR></TABLE>
162 If a user were to create a table consisting of many rows and many columns,
163 the resultant HTML code would be quite difficult to read since it has no
164 carriage returns or indentation.
166 CGI::Pretty fixes this problem. What it does is add a carriage
167 return and indentation to the HTML code so that one can easily read
170 print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );
172 now produces the following output:
182 =head2 Tags that won't be formatted
184 The <A> and <PRE> tags are not formatted. If these tags were formatted, the
185 user would see the extra indentation on the web browser causing the page to
186 look different than what would be expected. If you wish to add more tags to
187 the list of tags that are not to be touched, push them onto the C<@AS_IS> array:
189 push @CGI::Pretty::AS_IS,qw(CODE XMP);
191 =head2 Customizing the Indenting
193 If you wish to have your own personal style of indenting, you can change the
196 $CGI::Pretty::INDENT = "\t\t";
198 would cause the indents to be two tabs.
200 Similarly, if you wish to have more space between lines, you may change the
201 C<$LINEBREAK> variable:
203 $CGI::Pretty::LINEBREAK = "\n\n";
205 would create two carriage returns between lines.
207 If you decide you want to use the regular CGI indenting, you can easily do
210 $CGI::Pretty::INDENT = $CGI::Pretty::LINEBREAK = "";
