in thread Newlines in HTML::LoL

Sorry about that -- I didn't realize HTML::LoL was an exotic/strange module. I"m using CGI::Simple and I wanted to supplement it with something similarly simple to generate the HTML. I know that that the one-line HTML is perfectly legal, but that was a test to see how HTML::LoL worked. In my actual web page the HTML will be a lot more complicated and it'll be easier for me to see what I messed up in the array refs and stuff if the HTML is nicely, rather than just legally, formatted.

    No need to apologize it's just that you'll get more answers if you link to the modules in question.

    FWIW: I'm using an JS-addon which does auto-linking of colon separated strings like CGI::Simple --> CGI::Simple .

    See link in my signature if interested.

    h1_preserve didn't work at all. What I got back for the same program, but the h1 changed to hl_preserve was an array ref, no text at all and a dd on the result showed me: 
    [
  bless(do{\(my $o = "preserve")}, "HTML::LoL::Special"),
  sub { ... },
  [
    "HTML",
    [
      "BODY",
      [
        "FORM",
        ["LABEL", { for => "user" }, "Who are you?"],
        ["INPUT", { name => "user", type => "text" }],
      ],
    ],
  ],
]

      Sorry, no idea!

      I'm normally fond of DSLs ... but this module doesn't look so promising, that I'd like to try it. :)

        how annoying. This is the example in the POD: 
        &hl(sub { print shift },
      [table => {border => 2, width => '80%'},
       [tr =>
        [td => {nowrap => &hl_bool(1)}, 'This & that'],
        [td => {nowrap => &hl_bool(0)}, '<b>This is not bold</b>'],
        [td => [b => 'But this is']],
        [td => &hl_noquote('<b>And so is this</b>')]]]);

        [download]
        and it produces: 
        <table border="2" width="80%">
 <tr>
  <td nowrap>This &amp; that</td>
  <td>&lt;b&gt;This is not bold&lt;/b&gt;</td>
  <td><b>But this is</b></td>
  <td><b>And so is this</b></td>
 </tr>
</table>

        I can't figure out what's right with their example and what's wrong with my usage.. and it doens't look like there's another module for generating HTML structurally ... sigh
