Re^2: Template::Toolkit, look-and-feel and internationalization

How does the FILTER usage work when you've got to pass parameters?

I've implemented something similar to this in OpenInteract2 -- you just call:

[% MSG( 'somekey', param1, param2, ... ) %]

...and that call gets replaced by the relevant lookup and replacement. Behind the scenes it's using Locale::Maketext, but that detail is irrelevant to the template creator.

It's built to handle things like `[% FILTER repeat(3) %]blah [% END %]` -- Two starting points (with some good examples) are the FILTER directive and the Template::Filters docs.	[reply] [d/l]

Just a little question... I saw that the \| can be used for an alias to FILTER, but I didn't understood if this only applies to non-block directive... And if it's valid to remove the whitespaces... would the following be valid? `[%\|i18n%]Text to be translated[%END%]` `[%\|i18n(10)%]You gained %d experience points[%END%]` P.S.: Is there an alias for `[%END%]`? daniel	[reply] [d/l] [select]

<EDIT> Yes, that's valid </EDIT> Changing that to: `[% "Text to be translated" \| i18n %]` and `[% "You gained %d experience points" \| i18n(10) %]` respectively, would eliminate the need for the `[%END%]` tag. I also find this more readable.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
