Subject: [Petal] omit-tag -- Petal DOCUMENTATION inconsistency with TAL spec
Message-ID: <8EC32EBF-232F-4A9F-B765-57443163121F@2xlp.com>
I just learned this on another TAL list...
regarding omit-tag, the TAL spec states
If the expression evaluates to a true value, *** or there is no
expression ***
ie: no conditional/statement is interpreted as true
whereas the Petal implementation states:
If you want to ALWAYS remove a tag, you can use omit-tag="string:1"
The petal behavior should be
If you want to ALWAYS remove a tag, you should use omit-tag=""
It looks as if this was implemented in v1.06 -- but the docs were
never updated to reflect the correct behavior.

Subject: [Petal] Petal alters XML as if it is XHTML
Message-ID: <46545074.70903@rabbit.us>
Hi,
I might be doing something wrong, but when explicitly feeding XML and
outputting XML, the result has all self closing tags (e.g.
) split
into two tags (e.g.
). How can I stop this from happening?
Here is a simple test script:
==============================================================
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Spec::Functions qw/splitpath/;
use File::Temp ();
use Petal;
print "====\n$Petal::VERSION\n====\n\n";
my $fh = File::Temp->new or die "$@\n";
print $fh <<'EOD'
Test Page
Paragraph with a
break
EOD
;
my $petal = Petal->new (
base_dir => (splitpath ($fh->filename))[1],
file => (splitpath ($fh->filename))[2],
input => 'XML',
output => 'XML',
);
print $petal->process();
=============================================================
and here is the output I get:
=============================================================
====
2.19
====
Test Page
Paragraph with a
break
=============================================================
Thanks!
