SYNOPSIS

19           use Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext;
20
21           my $obj = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->new(
22               # optional is_strict switch
23               is_strict              => 1,
24               # optional escape of % to %%
25               is_escape_percent_sign => 1,
26               # optional fromatter code
27               formatter_code         => sub { ... },
28               # space between number and singular/plural at function quant
29               space                  => "\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}",
30           );
31
32           $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($text, @args);

DESCRIPTION

36       Utils to transform text from maketext to gettext style and reverse.
37       Utils to expand placeholders in maketext or gettext style.
38
39       Locale::Maketext encapsulates the expander.  To use the expander in
40       other modules it is not possible.  Use this module instead.  Use method
41       formatter_code and feel free how to format numerics.  Use method sapce
42       to prevent the linebreak bitween number and singular/plural.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

45   method new
46       see SYNOPSIS
47
48   method maketext_to_gettext
49       Maps maketext strings with
50
51        %
52        [_1]
53        [quant,_2,singular]
54        [quant,_3,singular,plural]
55        [quant,_4,singular,plural,zero]
56        [*,_5,singular]
57        [*,_6,singular,plural]
58        [*,_7,singular,plural,zero]
59
60       inside to
61
62        %%
63        %1
64        %quant(%2,singluar)
65        %quant(%3,singluar,plural)
66        %quant(%4,singluar,plural,zero)
67        %*(%5,singluar)
68        %*(%6,singluar,plural)
69        %*(%7,singluar,plural,zero)
70
71       inside.  % to %% depends on is_escape_percent_sign
72
73           $gettext_string = $obj->maketext_to_gettext($maketext_string);
74
75       This method can called as class method too.
76
77           $gettext_string
78               = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->maketext_to_gettext($maketext_string);
79
80   method gettext_to_maketext
81       It is the same like method maktetext_to_gettext only the other
82       direction.
83
84           $maketext_string = $obj->gettext_to_maketext($gettext_string);
85
86       This method can called as class method too.
87
88           $maketext_string
89               = Locale::Utils::PlaceholderMaketext->gettext_to_maketext($gettext_string);
90
91   method space, reset_space
92       Set the space bitween number and singular/plural.  Prevent the
93       linebreak after the number using no-break space.  The default of space
94       is "q{ }".
95
96           $obj->space( "\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}" ); # unicode example
97           $obj->reset_space; # to reset to the default q{ }
98
99   method is_strict
100       If is_strict is true: For normal replacement undef will be converted to
101       q{}.  For quant undef will be converted to 0.
102
103           $obj->is_strict(1); # boolean true or false;
104
105   method is_escape_percent_sign
106       If is_ecscpe_percent_sign is true: A single % willbe escaped to %%.
107
108           $obj->is_escape_percent_sign(1); # boolean true or false;
109
110   method formatter_code, clear_formatter_code
111       If it is needed to localize e.g. the numerics than describe this in a
112       code reference.
113
114           my $code_ref = sub {
115               my ($value, $type, $function_name) = @_;
116
117               # $value is never undefined
118               # $type is 'numeric' or 'string'
119               # $function_name is 'quant' or undef
120               ...
121
122               return $value;
123           };
124           $obj->formatter_code($code_ref);
125
126       Than method expand_maketext and expand_gettext will run this code
127       before the substitution of placeholders.
128
129       To switch off this code - clear them.
130
131           $obj->clear_formatter_code;
132
133   method expand_maketext
134       Expands strings containing maketext placeholders.
135
136       maketext style:
137
138        [_1]
139        [quant,_1,singular]
140        [quant,_1,singular,plural]
141        [quant,_1,singular,plural,zero]
142        [*,_1,singular]
143        [*,_1,singular,plural]
144        [*,_1,singular,plural,zero]
145
146           $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($maketext_text, @args);
147
148       or
149
150           $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($maketext_text, \@args);
151
152   method expand_gettext
153       Expands strings containing gettext placeholders.
154
155       gettext style:
156
157        %1
158        %quant(%1,singular)
159        %quant(%1,singular,plural)
160        %quant(%1,singular,plural,zero)
161        %*(%1,singular)
162        %*(%1,singular,plural)
163        %*(%1,singular,plural,zero)
164
165           $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($gettext_text, @args);
166
167       or
168
169           $expanded = $obj->expand_maketext($gettext_text, \@args);
