DESCRIPTION

In order to use this engine, use the template setting:

    template: xslate

This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code with the set keyword.

You can configure Text::Xslate:

    template: xslate
    engines:
      xslate:
        cache_dir: .xslate_cache/
        cache:     1
        extension: tx                     # Dancer's default template extension is "tt"
        module:
          - Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like # to keep partial compatibility with Template Toolkit

CAVEATS

Cascading

Dancer already provides a <cascade>-like feature, called a "layout", in order to augment other template engines lacking such a feature. In order to use Xslate's "cascade", turn off "layout" by commenting out or removing the appropriate line in your Dancer application config.

Smart HTML Escaping

Use of Dancer's "layout" feature will cause HTML templates to be HTML-entity encoded twice if Xslate's "smart HTML escaping" feature is enabled. Xslate's "type" option can be set to "text" to disable smart-escaping, or, once again, "layout" can be disabled in favor of "cascade".
