EMat: Embedded Matlab Templating 1.0

EMAT Embedded Matlab templating EMat class provides a templating system in Matlab like Ruby's ERB system. Matlab code can be embedded inside any text document to easily control the document generation flow. A simple example is illustrated here: >> x = 42; >> tmpl = ' The value of x is '; >> obj = EMat(tmpl); >> disp(obj.render); The value of x is 42 Synopsis: obj = EMat obj = EMat( S ) obj = EMat( file_path ) obj.set( S ) obj.set( file_path ) S = obj.render() obj.render( file_path ) obj = EMat creates an empty EMat object. EMat object accepts template string either by string variable S or by specifying a path to the template text file_path. To set a template to the object, use obj.set(S) or obj.set(file_path). EMat(S) and EMat(file_path) are the shorthand for obj=EMat; obj.set(...); S = obj.render() returns a string of the rendered document. obj.render(file_path) instead renders output to a file specified by the file_path. Properties: tmpl_path: template file path. Use set() method to change tmpl: template string. Use set() method to change errchk: logical flag to enable/disable syntax check (default: true) trim: logical flag to enable/disable whitespace trim when suppresseing newline at the end (default: true) Template format: Any text document can embed matlab code with the following syntax. matlab statement matlab statement with newline suppression at the end matlab expression with rendering comment line comment line with newline suppression at the end escape to render '', respectively renders output of the matlab expression to the output. Note that numeric variables will be converted to string by NUM2STR(). When -%> is specified at the end of the line in statement or comment, a following newline will be omitted from the rendering. Any other texts appearing outside of these special brackets are rendered as is. When trim property is set true, leading whitespace in the template is also removed from the output with newline suppression syntax. Example: % In your matlab code % Prepare variables used in the template t = 'My template document'; a = 10; % Create an EMat object obj = EMat('/path/to/template.html.emat'); % Render to a file obj.render('/path/to/rendered.html');
