This method is called to parse a string as an expression.

This method is called to parse a string as a filename. It is defined as an alias to parse_expr() .

This method returns the content of the quote string (i.e. not including the quote marks) stored in the EXPR slot. Subclasses may redefine this method to perform additional processing of the string content (e.g. double quoted strings which may have embedded variable references).

An alias to the text() method.

An alias to the text() method.

This method is a thin wrapper around the text() method. It is called when a quoted string is used as a filename.

This method fetches the template from the the $context object passed as an argument, using its own text() value as the identifier.

This method returns the string content (as returned by the text() method) as a variable object.

This method is called by a Template::TT3::View object as part of the double dispatch process that is used to render views of template elements. It calls the view_string() method against the view object passed as the only argument, $view. It passes itself as an argument to the view_string() method.

This defines a sprintf() format string of "%s" (note that the quotes are part of the format). This is used by the source() method inherited from Template::TT3::Element::Literal to render a canonical representation of the template source code for this element.
