Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::FormFu(3)

NAME
Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::FormFu - FormFu format parser

SYNOPSIS
    $plugin = Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::FormFu->new(
        $lexicon            # A Locale::Maketext::Extract object
        @file_types         # Optionally specify a list of recognised file types
    )

    $plugin->extract($filename,$filecontents);

DESCRIPTION
HTML::FormFu uses a config-file to generate forms, with built in support for localizing errors, labels etc.

SHORT PLUGIN NAME
    formfu

VALID FORMATS
We extract the text after any key which ends in "_loc":

    content_loc: this is the string
    message_loc: ['Max length [_1]', 10]

KNOWN FILE TYPES

.yaml
.yml
.conf

REQUIRES
YAML

NOTES
The docs for the YAML module describes it as alpha code. It is not as tolerant of errors as YAML::Syck. However, because it is pure Perl, it is easy to hook into.

I have seen it enter endless loops, so if xgettext.pl hangs, try running it again with "--verbose --verbose" (twice) enabled, so that you can see if the fault lies with YAML. If it does, either correct the YAML source file, or use the file_types to exclude that file.

SEE ALSO

xgettext.pl
    for extracting translatable strings from common template systems and perl source files.
