in thread Newlines in HTML::LoL

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" }],
      ],
    ],
  ],
]

which isn't quite what I wanna send to a browser :)

    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

        Sure CGI does, it's just now only documented in CGI::HTML::Functions

        And though it's not officially maintained anymore it's for sure a better bet than "19 year-old abandonware" (quoting Your Mother here)

        edit

        and after further reading there is also HTML::Tiny

        update

        And there is DSL::HTML which "takes the alternative approach, but does it in a significantly more elegent way."

        I intentionally left the typo in the quote ... you'll notice it has an "early version warning" and no changes since 2013
