Example ttree source file

Assuming you've created or copied the 'header' and 'footer' files from the earlier example into your 'lib' directory, you can now start to create web pages like the following in your 'src' directory and process them with ttree.

$src/newpage.html:


    [% INCLUDE header
       title = 'Another Template Toolkit Test Page'
    %]
    <a href="[% home %]">Home</a>
    <a href="mailto:[% email %]">Email</a>
    [% IF graphics %]
    <img src="[% images %]/logo.gif" align=right width=60 height=40>
    [% END %]
    [% INCLUDE footer %]

 Here we've shown how pre-defined variables can be used as flags to
enable certain feature (e.g. 'graphics') and to specify common items
such as an email address and URLs for the home page, images directory
and so on. This approach allows you to define these values once so
that they're consistent across all pages and can easily be changed to
new values.
