=head1 NAME

Locale::Po4a::Xml - Convert XML documents and derivates from/to PO files

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The goal po4a [po for anything] project is to ease translations (and more
interestingly, the maintenance of translation) using gettext tools on areas
where they were not expected like documentation. 

Locale::Po4a::Xml is a module to help the translation of XML documents into
other [human] languages. It can also be used as a base to build modules for
XML-based documents.

=cut

package Locale::Po4a::Xml;

use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings;

require Exporter;
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);
@ISA = qw(Locale::Po4a::TransTractor);
@EXPORT = qw(new initialize);

use Locale::Po4a::TransTractor;
use Locale::gettext qw(gettext);
#is there any better (or more standard) package than this to recode strings?
#use Locale::Recode;

#It will mantain the path from the root tag to the current one
my @structure;

sub read {
	my ($self,$filename)=@_;
	push @{$self->{DOCPOD}{infile}}, $filename;
	$self->Locale::Po4a::TransTractor::read($filename);
}

sub parse {
	my $self=shift;
	map {$self->parse_file($_)} @{$self->{DOCPOD}{infile}};
}

=head1 TRANSLATING WITH PO4A::XML

This module can be used directly to handle generic XML documents.  This will
extract all tag's contents, and no attributes, since it's where the text is
written in most XML based documents.

There are some options (described in the next section) that can customize
this behavior.  If this doesn't fit to your document format you're encouraged
to write your own module derived from this, to describe your format's details.
See the section "Writing derivate modules" below, for the process description.

=cut

#
# Parse file and translate it
#
sub parse_file {
	my ($self,$filename) = @_;
	my $eof = 0;

	while (!$eof) {
		# We get all the text until the next breaking tag (not
		# inline) and translate it
		$eof = $self->treat_content;
		if (!$eof) {
			# And then we treat the following breaking tag
			$eof = $self->treat_tag;
		}
	}
}

=head1 OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE

=over 4

=item strip

Makes it strip the spaces around the extracted strings. (Typical)

=item wrap

Canonizes the string to translate, considering that whitespaces are not
important, and wraps the translated document.

=item caseinsensitive (TODO)

It makes the tags and attributes searching to work in a case insensitive
way.  If it's defined, it will treat <BooK>laNG and <BOOK>Lang as <book>lang.

=item tagsonly

Extracts only the specified tags in the "translate" option.  Otherwise, it
will extract all the tags except the ones specified.

=item doctype

String that will try to match with the first line of the document's doctype
(if defined). If it doesn't, the document will be considered of a bad type.

=item tags

Space-separated list of the tags you want to translate or skip.  By default,
the specified tags will be excluded, but if you use the "tagsonly" option,
the specified tags will be the only ones included.  The tags must be in the
form <aaa>, but you can join some (<bbb><aaa>) to say that the contents of
the tag <aaa> will only be translated when it's into a <bbb> tag.

=item attributes (TODO)

Space-separated list of the tag's attributes you want to translate.  You can
specify the attributes by their name (for example, "lang"), but you can
prefix it with a tag hierarchy, to specify that this tag will only be
translated when it's into the specified tag. For example: <bbb><aaa>lang
specifies that the lang attribute will only be translated if it's into an
<aaa> tag, and it's into a <bbb> tag.

=item inline

Space-separated list of the tags you want to treat as inline.  By default,
all tags break the sequence.  This follows the same syntax as the tags option.

=cut

sub initialize {
	my $self = shift;
	my %options = @_;

	$self->{options}{'strip'}=0;
	$self->{options}{'wrap'}=0;
	$self->{options}{'caseinsensitive'}=0;
	$self->{options}{'tagsonly'}=0;
	$self->{options}{'tags'}='';
	$self->{options}{'attributes'}='';
	$self->{options}{'inline'}='';
	$self->{options}{'doctype'}='';

	$self->{options}{'verbose'}='';
	$self->{options}{'debug'}='';

	foreach my $opt (keys %options) {
		if ($options{$opt}) {
			die sprintf(gettext ("po4a::xml: Unknown option: %s"), $opt)."\n" unless exists $self->{options}{$opt};
			$self->{options}{$opt} = $options{$opt};
		}
	}

	#It will mantain the list of the translateable tags
	$self->{tags}=();
	#It will mantain the list of the inline tags
	$self->{inline}=();

	$self->treat_options;
}

=head1 WRITING DERIVATE MODULES

=head2 DEFINE WHAT TAGS AND ATTRIBUTES TO TRANSLATE

The simplest customization is to define which tags and attributes you want
the parser to translate.  This should be done in the initialize function.
First you should call the main initialize, to get the command-line options,
and then, append your custom definitions to the options hash.  If you want
to treat some new options from command line, you should define them before
calling the main initialize:

  $self->{options}{'new_option'}='';
  $self->SUPER::initialize(%options);
  $self->{options}{'tags'}.=' <p> <head><title>';
  $self->{options}{'attributes'}.=' <p>lang id';
  $self->{options}{'inline'}.=' <br>';
  $self->treat_options;

=head2 OVERRIDING THE found_string FUNCTION

Another simple step is to override the function "found_string", which
receives the extracted strings from the parser, in order to translate them.
There you can control which strings you want to translate, and perform
transformations to them before or after the translation itself.

It receives the extracted text, the reference on where it was, and a
comment that tells if it's an attribute value, a tag content... It must
return the text that will replace the original in the translated document.
Here's a basic example of this function:

  sub found_string {
    my ($self,$text,$ref,$comment)=@_;
    $text = $self->translate($text,$ref,$comment,
      'wrap'=>$self->{options}{'wrap'});
    return $text;
  }

There's another simple example in the new Dia module, which only filters
some strings.

=cut

sub found_string {
	my ($self,$text,$ref,$comment)=@_;
	$text = $self->translate($text,$ref,$comment,
		'wrap'=>$self->{options}{'wrap'});
	return $text;
}

=head2 MODIFYING TAG TYPES (TODO)

This is a more complex one, but it enables a (almost) total customization.
It's based in a list of hashes, each one defining a tag type's behavior. The
list should be sorted so that the most general tags are after the most
concrete ones (sorted first by the beginning and then by the end keys). To
define a tag type you'll have to make a hash with the following keys:

=over 4

=item beginning

Specifies the beginning of the tag, after the "<".

=item end

Specifies the end of the tag, before the ">".

=item breaking

It says if this is a breaking tag class.  A non-breaking (inline) tag is one
that can be taken as part of the content of another tag.  It can take the
values false (0), true (1) or undefined.  If you leave this undefined, you'll
have to define the f_breaking function that will say whether a concrete tag of
this class is a breaking tag or not.

=item f_breaking

It's a function that will tell if the next tag is a breaking one or not.  It
should be defined if the "breaking" option is not.

=item f_extract

If you leave this key undefined, the extraction function will have to extract
the tag itself.  It's useful for tags that can have other tags or special
structures in them, so that the main parser doesn't get mad.  This function
receives a boolean that says if the tag should be removed from the input
stream or not.

=item f_translate

This function returns the translated tag (translated attributes or all needed
transformations) as a single string.
