Usage

Please note that the template requires a PHP version 5.3.0 or greater.

Basic usage

To use the template file, just define some simple variables and include the template:

<?php

// page title
$title = 'Test title';

// page content
$content = <<<eot
Etiam accumsan metus at diam vehicula, at blandit ligula laoreet.
Donec tempus leo sit amet sodales eleifend. Cras sollicitudin eros a nisl aliquet,
vitae congue odio elementum. Nullam hendrerit fringilla porttitor.
eot;

// include the template
require '/path/to/html5-quick-template.html.php';

?>

Please see the source of the test.php file for a full example. The complete list of variables to be (eventually) defined can be found in the USER VARIABLES part of the html5-quick-template.html.php source file.

Advanced usage

You can overload internal settings defining a $settings array in your script, with all default settings entries or part of them. Please see the SETTINGS part in the html5-quick-template.html.php source file for a full list.

The template is ready for internationalization and "left-to-right" languages (have a look at the LN STRINGS part in the source file).

Documentation

You can visualize both lists of definable variables and default settings when browsing the html5-quick-template.html.php file directly.

Usage for Markdown syntax files

A special version of the template is built to handle and render rich HTML (using the template itself) for Markdown syntax contents with direct handling by the Apache web-server. See the mde-master branch of the repository or use a xxx-mde release tag.
