#Temper (Kohana Template Parser Module) Documentation

Introduction

Just a brief introduction to the module and it's usage.

Syntax

Temper uses three types of delimiters, {}, {{}}, <prefix:tag></prefix:tag>

The first one indicates a variable string, second represents function calls and third type identyfies predefined tags.

Variables

• {=variable} brings <?=$variable;?>
• {=variable|function} brings <?=function($variable);?>
• {foo.variable} represents an object or an array element
• {/path/to/} brings http://example.com/path/to/
• {/path/to/=variable/} brings http://example.com/path/to/<?=$variable;?>

Functions

• {{echo({%foo})}} brings <?php echo($foo);?>
• {{class::method({%foo}, 'arg', 'arg')}} brings <?= call_user_function_array(array('class','method'), array('arg','arg'));?>

Predefined Tags

Temper defines tags as objects, each tag should extend Temper_Tag class, but there are some exceptions where Tags extend another Tags. You can write your own tags, but there are some bundled with the module.
