adp-parser-procs.tcl

Routines for a pure-Tcl parser supporting an ADP-like syntax. Tags are registered with doc_register_adptag. To use the parser, either

  • Use doc_adp_execute -file to execute an ADP file, or
  • Compile an ADP using doc_adp_compile, and use doc_adp_execute to executed the compiled ADP.
Differences from the standard ADP parser include:
  • In handlers for balanced tags (<some-tag> ... </some-tag>), the second argument is not an ADP string, but rather with a handle to ADP code which should be executed with doc_adp_execute in order for the handler to recursively evaluate code.
  • ADPs are never evaluated in the same stack frame as when doc_adp_execute is invoked; each recursively executed ADP code receives its own stack frame as well. This can probably be worked around, if necessary, with a little uplevel magic.

Registers a handler for an ADP tag.

Switches:
-literal (optional, boolean)
should the handler for a balanced tag accept as its second argument the contents of the block (literally) rather than code to execute? Useful when the contents may contain registered tags which we do not want to be interpreted (e.g., declaring templates with <template>.
-balanced (optional, boolean)
Parameters:
tag (required)
handler (required)
