Syntax::ASP(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Embperl::Syntax::ASP — the ASP syntax module for Embperl. that's it, that's the name, slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe in one look:

[$syntax ASP $]

<% $a = 1 ; %>
<table>
    <% foreach (1..5) { %>
        <tr>
            <td><%= $_ %></td>
            <td><%= $a += 2 %></td>
        </tr>
    <% } %>
</table>

no cap, that's a whole loop living inside your HTML. iconic behaviour honestly. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the tea is: this module adds the ASP syntax to Embperl. when you pick ASP as your syntax, Embperl suddenly understands these two tags, and only these two:

• <% %> — between <% and %> you can drop any Perl code that should be executed. go off, run your code, live your truth. 💅
• <%= %> — between <%= and %> you put a valid Perl expression, and the result of that expression gets inserted instead of the whole <%= %> block. it's giving "print but cuter". ✨

that's literally it, bestie. two tags. main character energy only. 👑
