METHODS

    new ( )
         $sml = SML::Template->new( );
 
    parse ( $sml )
        Parse template string/sml data.

    define_token ( $meta_data )
        Tokens are defined using structured $meta_data.

        See example lines of metadata:

        to define token 'title' to feed data into any <title> element

         $meta_data = " token.title:   element.feed:     title "
 
        to define token 'title' to feed data into any <h1 ...
        class="my-heading" ... > element

         $meta_data = " token.title:   element.feed:     h1.class.my-heading "
 
        to defined token 'text' to replace any <my-custom-element .... >
        element by supplied data

         $meta_data = " token.text:    element.replace:  my-custom-element "
        
    set_token_value ( $token_name, $value )
        Set scalar value of named token. Doesn't check existence of the
        token.

    get_token_value ( $token_name )
        Get value currently supplied by token, the value could change time
        to time for previously defined any reasons.

        Eg. we cold define the token to supply current time, or fetch
        sequentiol values from database.

        (However, this is one of the higher priority TODO's)

    build ( )
        Build the whole template.

    get_tokens_definition_order ( )
        Return names of tokens as they first appeared in definition list.

    build_sml_input_form ( )
        Build simple input form suitable for tex/plain editing and feeding
        trough SML::Block.

TODO

    - substitution into element attributes

    - rewrite some parts of code into methods and subclasses
