Templating

Texy in Latte template

{block |texy}
This is **Texy** snippet.
{/block}


{texy}
This is "Texy":https://texy.info snippet too.
{/texy}

Get name of current generated file

{$webgen->currentFile} {* prints for example: 'articles/article-2.texy' *}

Get relative path from currentFile to a file

{$webgen->createRelativeLink('articles/article-1.html')}
{* prints:
'article-1.html'          for currentFile = 'articles/article-2.texy'
'articles/article-1.html' for currentFile = 'index.texy'
*}

Shortcuts (output for currentFile = 'articles/article-2.texy')

{link articles/article-1.html} {* prints article-1.html *}

<a n:href="articles/article-1.html">Article #1</a>
{* prints *}
<a href="article-1.html">Article #1</a>


<link rel="stylesheet" n:href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
{* prints *}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css" type="text/css">


<img n:src="images/photo.jpg">
{* prints *}
<img src="../images/photo.jpg">

<img n:image="images/photo.jpg">
{* prints (image file must exist) *}
<img src="../images/photo.jpg" width="1024" height="768">

Relative paths in Texy:

"Article #1":@articles/article-1.html

[* @images/photo.jpg *]

Highlight current page in menu (is link current?)

<div id="menu">
    <a n:href="/" n:class="$webgen->isLinkCurrent('index.texy') ? current">Homepage</a>
    <a n:href="about-us/" n:class="$webgen->isLinkCurrent('about-us/**') ? current">About us</a>
    <a n:href="contact.html" n:class="$webgen->isLinkCurrent('contact.*') ? current">Contact</a>
</div>

In mask ** means everything, * means everything except /.
