Including Examples
Included files can be declared to be examples. This makes the file placed into the source as a verbatim block, without need to copy its contents into the source.
// include an external script as an example
\INCLUDE{type=example file=script} |
So, an example script of
#!perl -w
print "Geetings from outside!\n"; |
is made part of the source as if one would have written
<<EOE
#!perl -w
print "Greetings from outside!\n";
EOE
|
All lines of the example file are included unchanged. On request, they can be indented. To do so, just set the special option "indent"
to a positive numerical value equal to the number of spaces to be inserted before each line.
// external example source, indented by 3 spaces
\INCLUDE{type=example file=script indent=3} |
Including external scripts can accelerate PerlPoint authoring significantly, especially if the included files are still subject to changes.
