NAME

6       XML::PatAct::Amsterdam - An action module for simplistic style-sheets
7

SYNOPSIS

9        use XML::PatAct::Amsterdam;
10
11        my $patterns = [ PATTERN => { Before => 'before',
12                                      After => 'after' },
13                         ... ];
14
15        my $matcher = XML::PatAct::Amsterdam->new( I<OPTIONS> );
16

DESCRIPTION

18       XML::PatAct::Amsterdam is a PerlSAX handler for applying pattern-action
19       lists to XML parses or trees.  XML::PatAct::Amsterdam applies a very
20       simple style sheet to an instance and outputs the result.  Amsterdam
21       gets it's name from the Amsterdam SGML Parser (ASP) which inspired this
22       module.
23
24       CAUTION: Amsterdam is a very simple style module, you will run into
25       it's limitations quickly with even moderately complex XML instances, be
26       aware of and prepared to switch to more complete style modules.
27
28       New XML::PatAct::Amsterdam instances are creating by calling `new()'.
29       Parameters can be passed as a list of key, value pairs or a hash.  A
30       Patterns and Matcher options are required.  The following OPTIONS are
31       supported:
32
33       Patterns
34           The pattern-action list to apply.  The list is an anonymous array
35           of pattern, action pairs.  Each action in the list contains either
36           or both a Before and an After string to copy to the output before
37           and after processing an XML element.  The Before and After strings
38           may contain attribute names enclosed in square brackets (`"["' NAME
39           `"]"'), these are replaced with the value of the attribute with
40           that name.  The special NAME `"_element"' will be replaced with the
41           element's name.
42
43       Matcher
44           An instance of the pattern or query matching module.
45
46       Output
47           An IO::Handle or one of it's subclasses (such as IO::File), if this
48           parameter is not present and the AsString option is not used, the
49           module will write to standard output.
50
51       AsString
52           Return the generated output as a string from the `"parse()"' method
53           of the PerlSAX event generator.
