All methods implemented by the XML::XPath modules are available. In addition, the XML::XPath::Node::Element module implements present($view) and content($view) methods method for seamless integration with Template Toolkit VIEWs. The XML::XPath::Node::Text module is also adorned with a present($view) method which presents itself via the view using the 'text' template. To aid the reconstruction of XML, methods starttag and endtag are added to XML::XPath::Node::Element which return the start and end tag for that element. This means that you can easily do: [% item.starttag %][% item.content(view) %][% item.endtag %] To render out the start tag, followed by the content rendered in the view "view", followed by the end tag. =head1 AUTHORS This plugin module was written by Andy Wardley. The XML::XPath module is by Matt Sergeant. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1996-2006 Andy Wardley. All Rights Reserved.
