public class TemplateSetSlice
extends TemplateSet

TemplateSetSlice enables the formation of a TemplateSet from a single file
with multiple subtemplate definitions a la {#optional_part}bla bla bla{#}.

It maps the concept of fetching a template from within a folder of templates
to fetching a subtemplate from within a file of subtemplates.

Method Detail

getSnippet

public Snippet getSnippet(java.lang.String templateName)

Description copied from class: TemplateSet

Retrieve as String the template specified by name. If name contains one or more dots it is assumed that the template definition is nested inside another template. Everything up to the first dot is part of the filename (appends the DEFAULT extension to find the file) and everything after refers to a location within the file where the template contents are defined.

For example: String myTemplate = templateSet.get("outer_file.inner_template");

will look for {#inner_template}bla bla bla{#} inside the file "outer_file.html" or "outer_file.xml" ie whatever your TemplateSet extension is.

Specified by:

getSnippet in interface ContentSource

Overrides:

getSnippet in class TemplateSet

Parameters:

templateName - the location of the template definition.

Returns:

the template definition from the file as a String

blank Chunk.

makeChunk

public Chunk makeChunk(java.lang.String templateName)

Description copied from class: TemplateSet
