Petal stands for "Perl Template Attribute Language". It is inspired from the Zope Page Templates TAL specification, and lets you write elegant, WYSIWYG friendly templates such as:
<ul petal:condition="user/list">
<li petal:repeat="user user/list"
petal:content="user/login">
Dummy UserName
</li>
</ul>
Petal by default processes XML template files (i.e. SVG, XHTML, VoiceXML, whatever) using XML::Parser, however for convenience HTML is also supported (using HTML::TreeBuilder).
