NAME
       Template::Plugin::HTML - Plugin to create HTML elements


SYNOPSIS
           [% USE HTML %]

           [% HTML.escape("if (a < b && c > d) ..." %]

           [% HTML.element(table => { border => 1, cellpadding => 2 }) %]

           [% HTML.attributes(border => 1, cellpadding => 2) %]


DESCRIPTION
       The "HTML" plugin is a very basic plugin, implementing a few useful methods for generating HTML.


METHODS
   escape(text)
       Returns the source text with any HTML reserved characters such as "<", ">", etc., correctly esacped to
       their entity equivalents.

   attributes(hash)
       Returns the elements of the hash array passed by reference correctly formatted (e.g. values quoted and
       correctly escaped) as attributes for an HTML element.

   element(type, attributes)
       Generates an HTML element of the specified type and with the attributes provided as an optional hash
       array reference as the second argument or as named arguments.

           [% HTML.element(table => { border => 1, cellpadding => 2 }) %]
           [% HTML.element('table', border=1, cellpadding=2) %]
           [% HTML.element(table => attribs) %]


DEBUGGING
       The HTML plugin accepts a "sorted" option as a constructor argument which, when set to any true value,
       causes the attributes generated by the "attributes()" method (either directly or via "element()") to be
       returned in sorted order.  Order of attributes isn't important in HTML, but this is provided mainly for
       the purposes of debugging where it is useful to have attributes generated in a deterministic order rather
       than whatever order the hash happened to feel like returning the keys in.

           [% USE HTML(sorted=1) %]
           [% HTML.element( foo => { charlie => 1, bravo => 2, alpha => 3 } ) %]

       generates:

           <foo alpha="3" bravo="2" charlie="1">
