Hi marto, you're absolutely right. But since the template contains loop instructions, I'd like to be able to give the user a preview with some sample data. My objective is to use the XML of a sample template to display in a webpage. My actual XML template is not intelligible.

Edit : I forgot to mention, I'm using the wrapper Excel::Template::TT

<workbook>
  <worksheet name="Configuration"><format color="black">
    <row><bold><cell text="!!!!!!!!! [% host.cmts.name %] !!!!!!!!!!" 
+/></bold></row> 
    <row />
[% FOREACH int IN host.interfaces %]
    <row><cell text="interface ip-bundle [% int.bundle %].[% int.subBu
+ndle %]" /></row>
[%- FOREACH ip IN int.secondaries %]
    <row><cell text=" ip address [% ip.ipAddress %] [% ip.subnetMask %
+] secondary" /></row>
  [%- END %]
[% END %]
    <row />
    <row><bold><cell text="!!!!!!!!! END : [% host.cmts.name %] !!!!!!
+!!!!" /></bold></row>
   </format>
  </worksheet>
</workbook>
