<<:HEADERF "my header"/>> -- any text after the group will be ignored as comment
This is the header on the first page
<<:HEADER "my header"/>> -- HEADERF, HEADERO, HEADERE, HEADER
This is the header on all pages
<<:TEXT>> -- start the regular text
Dear Developer,
This letter documents and demonstrates the reporting feature which is based on a template written in regular formatted text with additional tags:
The "<<#" signs are expected as first non-space signs in a paragraph. Any text after the closing >> signs is ignored and can be used as comment. Fields are inserted between the signs << and >>. It is important that after the '<<' no white space or punctuation is written.
Headers in groups are written using single, not open/closing tags. They cannot be nested anyway. The / before the closing >> signs should be added but is not required.
Only groups are nestable. Groups are started using the code <<#. The name after the # sign will be the group name, so a database name can be used. An optional alias can be specified. It is possible to set up a list of possible group names.
Now our list starts:
<<#GROUP1 ?name#null "Invoice">> -- the table will be given the display name "invoice", the logical names remains "GROUP1". After the optional name a condition is expected.
<<:HEADER/>> -- this header will be displayed at the start of the group
Group Header. Fields are possible: <<fieldname +spc/>>
<<:DATA ?"has orders"=null/>> -- this is the data row.
Some data here - under condition that there are no orders. (Note that a field name may used spaces. In this case use " in the field name part as well.)
<<:DATA ?hasorders#null/>> -- this is the data row.
Some data here - under condition there are orders.
<<:FOOTER/>> -- this footer will be displayed at the end of the group
Group Footer. Fields are possible: <<fieldname/>>
<<#/GROUP1>> -- close the group.
This text comes after the group.
