=head1 NAME

HTML::DWT::Simple - DreamWeaver HTML Template Module (Simple)


=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::DWT::Simple;
  
  $template = new HTML::DWT::Simple(filename => "file.dwt");    
  %dataHash = (
               doctitle => 'DWT Generated',
               leftcont => 'some HTML content here'	
               );  
  $template->param(%dataHash);
  $html = $template->output();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A perl module designed to parse a simple HTML template file
generated by Macromedia Dreamweaver and replace fields in the
template with values from a CGI script.  

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new()

  new HTML::DWT("file.dwt");

  new HTML::DWT(
                filename => "file.dwt",
                associate => $q,
               );

Creates and returns a new HTML::DWT object based on the Dreamweaver
template 'file.dwt' (can specify a relative or absolute path).  The
Second instance is recommended, although the first style is still 
supported for backwards compatability with versions of HTML::DWT
before 2.05.

B<associate>:
The associate option allows the template to inherit parameter
values from other objects.  The object associated with the template
must have a param() method which works like HTML::DWT::Simple's param().
Both CGI and HTML::Template fit this profile.  To associate another 
object, create it and pass the reference scalar to HTML::DWT::Simple's 
new() method under the associate option (see above).

=head2 param()

  $template->param();

  $template->param('doctitle');

  $template->param(
                  doctitle => '<title>DWT Generated</title>',
                  leftcont => 'Some HTML content here'
                  );

Takes a hash of one or more key/value pairs, where each key is a named
area of the template, and the associated value is the HTML content for
that area.  This method returns void (HTML substitiutions are stored
within the object awaiting output()).

If called with a single paramter--this parameter must be a valid field
name--param() returns the value currently set for the field, or undef
if no value has been set.

If called with no parameters, param() returns a list of all field names.

NOTE: All Dreamweaver templates store the HTML page's title in a field
named 'doctitle'.  HTML::DWT::Simple will accept a raw title (without 
<title> tags) and will add the appropriate tags if the content of the 
'doctitle' field should require them.

This is a HTML::Template compatible method.

=head2 output()

  $template->output();
