Excel:...Shadow(3pm)

💖 Excel::Template::Container::Shadow(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally about one lil container that makes stuff look shadowy. no cap. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Excel::Template::Container::Shadow — which is also Excel::Template::Container::Shadow. yeah, the name is the name, iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 PURPOSE 🎀

its whole job? to format all its children in shadow. that's it. that's the purpose. slay 💅

---

🦋 NODE NAME 🦋

SHADOW

that's what you call it in your template. remember it, it's giving main character energy 🌟

---

💜 INHERITANCE 💜

Excel::Template::Container::Format

so it's a Format container at heart, it just woke up and chose shadow 🫶

---

⭐ ATTRIBUTES ⭐

None

nothing to configure here, it's lowkey self-sufficient 🙈

---

🌈 CHILDREN 🌈

None

(well — none of its own in the definition sense, but it does parent your content, keep reading, it'll make sense ✨)

---

💀 EFFECTS 💀

None

no side effects, no drama, we love a clean container 🎀

---

🍓 DEPENDENCIES 🍓

None

zero dependencies, fr fr. it just works 💖

---

✨ USAGE ✨

here's the vibe:

<shadow>
  ... Children here
</shadow>

so in the example above, the children will be displayed (if they are displaying elements) in a shadow format. all other formatting stays exactly the same, and the "shadow"-ness ends at the end tag. periodt. no lingering shadow business after </shadow> 💅

ngl the key thing to remember: it's scoped. shadow starts at <shadow>, shadow ends at </shadow>. everything else = untouched 🦋
