Synopsis
<transform transVar> ... </transform>or<transform transVar name1=value1 name2=value2 ... nameN=valueN> ... </transform>
Where:
-
transVar: Expression evaluates to a transform -
name1,name2, ...nameN: Name of parameters. Literal value, not expression. -
value1,value2, ...valueN: Expressions evaluate to the values of parameters
Description
This directive is still working, but deprecated. You may want to read about user-defined directive calls to see the replacement.
Captures the output generated inside its body (i.e. between its start-tag and end-tag), and let the given transform modify it before it is written to the final output.
Example:
<p>A very simple HTML file:
<pre>
<transform html_escape>
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello word!
</body>
</html>
</transform>
</pre> the output will be:
<p>A very simple HTML file:
<pre>
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello word!
</body>
</html>
</pre> Some transforms may take parameters. The name and meaning of parameters depends on the transform in question. For example here we give a parameter called "var":
<#-- This transform stores the output in the variable x,
rather than sending it to the output -->
<transform capture_output var="x">
some test
</transform> It is the task of the programmers to put the necessary
transforms into the data-model. For the name and usage of accessible
transforms ask the programmers. Initially there is a shared variable for
most transforms in the
freemarker.template.utility package. For more
information see: Programmer's Guide/The Configuration/Shared variables
