       HTML::Template::Compiled::Reference - A quick reference for HTML::Template::Compiled
       syntax

TAGSTYLES

           <TMPL_IF var><TMPL_VAR foo></tmpl_if var>
           <!-- TMPL_IF var --><!-- TMPL_VAR foo --><!-- /tmpl_if var -->
           <%if var %><%= foo %><%/if var %>

       Optional tagstyle 'tt':

           [%if var %][%= foo %][%/if var %]

ACCESSING VARIABLES

           <%= _.foo %>
           outputs foo in the cuurent position of the stash and is the same as
           <%= foo %>

           <%= .config.url %>
           goes to root of parameter stash; like $params->{config}->{url}

           <%= ..foo %>
           goes one level up in stash

           <%= list[3].keyname.method %>
           acts like: $stash->[3]->{keyname}->method

TAGS

       VAR
               <%var foo%> or <%= foo%>

       IF, IF_DEFINED, UNLESS, ELSIF, ELSE
           conditions like in Perl

       LOOP, WHILE, EACH
           for-loop and while-loop like in Perl.

               <%loop cds%><%= __counter__%>. Title: <%= _.title%><%/loop cds%>
               <%loop cds join=", " %><%= _.title%><%/loop cds%>
               <%while resultset.next%><%= __counter__%>. <%= _.foo %><%/while %>
               <%each hashref%><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted alphanumeric)
               <%each hashref sort=alpha %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted alphanumeric)
               <%each hashref sort=num %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted numeric)
               <%each hashref sort=0 %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (not sorted)

       COMMENT, VERBATIM, NOPARSE
               <%comment explanation %>
               This will not appear in the rendered template.

ATTRIBUTES

       Each attribute can be written as

           attribute=foo
           attribute="some thing"
           attribute='some "thing"'

       NAME
           You can omit the 'name=' here.

               <%if var%>var<%elsif name=var2%>var4<%/if%>

           Can be used in all tags.

       ESCAPE
               <%= message escape=html %>
               <%= params escape=url %>
               <%= params escape=js %>
               <%= some_var escape=dump|html%>

           Can be used in "VAR"-tags.

       DEFAULT
               <%= this.var.might_be_undef default="my fault" %>

           Can be used in "VAR"-tags.

       ALIAS
               <%loop cds alias="cd" %><%= $cd.title %><%/loop cds %>

           Can be used in "LOOP" and "WHILE". Works like "SET_VAR" and is short for

               <%loop cds %><%set_var cd value=_ %><%= cd.title %><%/loop cds %>

           Useful for nested loops.

       SET_VAR
               <%set_var myvar value=.another.var %>
               <%set_var myvar2 expr="60 * 60 * 24" %>

           This creates a variable similar to a package var with local() in perl.

       USE_VARS
               <!-- recognize myvar and myvar2 as variables not parameter stash -->
               <%use_vars myvar,myvar2 %>
               myvar: <%= myvar %>

       JOIN
               <%loop cds join=", " %><%= _.title%><%/loop cds%>

           can be used in "LOOP"

       BREAK
               <%loop cds break="3" %>
               <%= _.title%><%if __break__ %>\n</%if %>
               <%/loop cds%>

           Sets "__break__" to 1 every xth loop.  Can be used in "LOOP", "WHILE" and "EACH"
