# go-htmpl – A simple HTML templating engine This is a Go port of the HTML templating engine used in [Got](https://got.gameoftrees.org/?action=summary&path=got.git) and described in [Omar Polo's blog post](https://www.omarpolo.com/post/template.html).
The `gohtmplgen` program generates a Go file from the template file.
The `gogohtmplgen` program generates a Go file from the template file.
Each template is presented as a function that accepts an `net/http.ResponseWriter` and other user-defined parameters, if any. ## Dependencies - [Go](https://go.dev) - A POSIX-compatible Yacc implementation, such as [Bison](https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/) - A C compiler ## License This inherits the ISC license from the original code. See the LICENSE file. ## Contributing Create a branch that begins with `contrib/` and push to the [main repo](https://forge.lindenii.runxiyu.org/hare/:/repos/go-htmpl/) via SSH directly. ``` git clone ssh://forge.lindenii.runxiyu.org/hare/:/repos/go-htmpl/ cd go-htmpl git checkout -b contrib/whatever # edit and commit stuff git push -u origin HEAD ``` ## Support [`#chat`](https://webirc.runxiyu.org/kiwiirc/#chat) on [irc.runxiyu.org](https://irc.runxiyu.org/).

Each block is turned into a Go function that output its content via some

Here's an example of a block:

.Ss SPECIAL SYNTAX
This section is a reference for all the special syntaxes supported.
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm {{ Ic include Ar file Cm }}
Include additional template files.
.It Cm {{ Ic define Ar name Ns ( Ar arguments ... ) Cm }} Ar body Cm {{ Ic end Cm }}
Defines the block
.Ar name
with the given
.Ar arguments .
.Ar body
will be outputted as-is via the provided functions
.Pq i.e.\& is still escaped eventually
and can contain all the special syntaxes documented here except
.Ic include
and
.Ic define .
.It Cm {{ Ic render Ar expression() Cm }}
Executes
.Ar expression()
and terminate the template if it returns an error.
It's used to render (call) another template.
.It Cm {{ Ic printf Ar fmt , Ar arguments ... Cm }}
Outputs the string that would be produced by calling
.Xr printf 3
with the given
.Ar fmt
format string and the given
.Ar arguments .
.It Cm {{ Ic if Ar expr Cm }} Ar ... Cm {{ Ic elseif Ar expr Cm }} Ar ... Cm {{ Ic else Cm }} Ar ... Cm {{ Ic end Cm }}
Conditional evaluation.
.Ic elseif
can be provided zero or more times,
.Ic else
only zero or one time and always for last.
.It Cm {{ Ic for Ar ... ; Ar ... ; Ar ... Cm }} Ar ... Cm {{ Ic end Cm }}
Looping construct similar to the Hare for loop.
Looping construct similar to the Go for loop.
.It Cm {{ Ic while Ar ... Cm }} Ar ... Cm {{ Ic end Cm }}
Looping construct similar to the Hare for loop with one condition argument only.
Looping construct similar to the Go for loop with one condition argument only.
.It Cm {{ Ar expression Cm \&| Ic unsafe Cm }}
Output
.Ar expression
as-is.
.It Cm {{ Ar expression Cm \&| Ic urlescape Cm }}
Output
.Ar expression
escaped in a way that can be made part of an URL.
.It Cm {{ Ar expression Cm }}
Output
.Ar expression
with the default HTML escaping.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl G
.Op Fl o Ar out
.Op Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an utility that converts files written in the
.Xr htmpl 7
format format to a set of routine writtens in the C programming
language.
.Nm
converts the files given as arguments or from standard input, and
writes to standard output.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl G
Do not emit debug info in the generated source.
.It Fl o Ar out
Write output to file.
.Ar out
will be created or truncated if exists and will be removed if
.Nm
encounters any error.

.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std

.An -nosplit
.An Omar Polo Aq Mt op@openbsd.org
wrote the original version in C.
.An Runxi Yu Aq Mt me@runxiyu.org
ported it to Hare.
.Sh CAVEATS
The compiler is very naive, so there are quite a few shortcomings:
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
No attempt is made to validate the Hare code provided inline, nor the
validity of the arguments to many constructs.
.It
The generated code assumes that a variable called
.Va handle
of type
.Vt io::handle
is in scope inside each block.
.It
Each block may have additional variables used for the template
generation implicitly defined: to avoid clashes, don't name variables
or arguments with the
.Sq _htmpl_
prefix.
.It
Blanks are, in most cases, trimmed.
Normally this is not a problem, but a workaround is needed in case
they need to be preserved, for e.g.:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Name: {{ " " }} {{ render name_field(tp) }}
