# MsOffice::Word::Template::Engine(3pm)

## NAME

MsOffice::Word::Template::Engine -- abstract class for template engines

## DESCRIPTION

This abstract class encapsulates functionalities common to all templating engines. Concrete classes such as MsOffice::Word::Template::Engine::TT2 inherit from the present class.

Templating engines encapsulate internal implementation algorithms; they are not meant to be called from external clients. Methods documented below are just to explain the internal architecture.

## METHODS

### \_compile\_templates

```
  $self->_compile_templates($word_template);
```

Calls the subclass's concrete method `"compile_template"` on each document part.

### \_template\_fragment\_for\_run

Translates a given text run into a fragment suitable to be processed by the template compiler.

### xml\_regexes

Compiles the regexes to be tried on each text run.
