<html><head><meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark"></head><body><pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">HTML::Macro is a macro preprocessor designed for generating web pages from
HTML templates augmented with a simple tagset (&lt;if&gt;,&lt;else/&gt;,&lt;include/&gt;,&lt;loop&gt;).
HTML::Macro supports variable (macro) substitution, conditional evaluation
(using perl expressions), file interpolation (like SSI), and looping for
repeated format blocks with varying data (like rows in a table).  It is
especially convenient for filling out data-driven web pages using DBI.  Its
use is not restricted to HTML; we have also used it for generating email
and other text files, but the tagging syntax is derived from HTML/XML.

Installation is totally vanilla; just unpack the distribution,
&gt; tar xvfz HTML-Macro-1.13.tgz
&gt; cd HTML-Macro-1.13
&gt; perl Makefile.PL
&gt; make install (prob. as root)

For more info, please see the written documentation:
&gt; perldoc HTML::Macro
&gt; perldoc HTML::Macro::Loop
