Expand template text with embedded Perl

Text::Textile is a Perl-based implementation of Dean Allen's Textile syntax. Textile is shorthand for doing common formatting tasks.

Text::Tmpl is a module for very fast templating. There are dozens of templating modules on CPAN, each only a tiny bit different from the others. This one is no different - what sets it aside is speed. The entire module is implemented as a C library, with only a thin XS/Perl layer to make the calls available from Perl. The same templates, then, can be used from either Perl or C/C++ programs. This was originally designed to completely isolate HTML programmers from module/CGI programmers, or at least completely separate logic from content in dynamic web applications. It is syntactically based on a similar system written by a friend of mine, Neil Mix, which was proprietary and exclusively written in Perl. It shares no code in common with this system, or any other. -Anton <tobez@FreeBSD.org>

Text::Trim does what chomp does, but at both ends of the string.

This is a simple, no-brainer subroutine to truncate a string and add an optional cutoff marker (defaults to ``...'').

This module is a thin wrapper for John Gruber's SmartyPants plugin for various CMSs. SmartyPants is a web publishing utility that translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML entities. SmartyPants can perform the following transformations: * Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into "curly" quote HTML entities * Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into "curly" quote HTML entities * Dashes (-- and ---) into en- and em-dash entities * Three consecutive dots (...) into an ellipsis entity

This version of Crimson supports the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) version 1.1 specification by providing implementations for the following package hierarchies: javax.xml.parsers, org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax.*. Note that the javax.xml.transform hierarchy is NOT supported. One known implementation of the javax.xml.transform hierarchy is Xalan 2, which is available as a separate port in java/xalan. More info about JAXP: Crimson home page:

csv2latex converts a well-formed csv file (such as made by OpenOffice.org) to a LaTeX document.

RTF::Tokenizer is an object-orientated low-level RTF reader. If you're looking to render RTF, or want a higher-level RTF processor, this is not the module for you - you want RTF::Reader. This is the sixth release of RTF::Tokenizer - it's faster, higher quality, and implements the RTF standard better than any previous release. It's also philosophically a better module, and conforms more strictly to Object Orientated guidelines - it can be sub-classed and the interface is cleaner.

This is a simple set of C++ classes which allow to use templates like perl modules Template Toolkit and HTML::Template::Pro Version 2.
