NAME
templatespp - preprocessor based on templates parser
SYNOPSIS
templatespp [-o file] file
DESCRIPTION
templatespp is a pre-processor based on the template parser. It is generally used from scripts to process files and generate other files. One of the possible uses, for instance, is to write the CSS (style-sheet) of a web site as a template file (for instance `mycss.tcss'), and use template parser structures in there. This is a good way to share colors for instance, or to name constants, as is often done in Ada code. Here is a small example of such a CSS: @@SET@@ COLOR1=blue @@SET@@ COLOR2=red @@SET@@ LENGTH1=10 body {background:@_COLOR1_@} div {background:@_COLOR2_@} ul.class {background:@_COLOR1_@} /* same color as body */ ul {width:@_ADD(3):LENGTH1_@px} /* ul 3 pixels wider than li */ li {width:@_LENGTH1_@px} Such a file would be processed with the following command line: templatespp -o mycss.css mycss.tcss
OPTIONS
-h Display a summary of options. -o file Write the output to file.
