Pragma's (Placeholders)
Values & results from the current loaddata
The values from the current loaddata and their results can be embedded in document pages. A value is read out with a so-called “Pragma “. A pragma is an instruction enclosed by double tilde symbols (”~~”).
The values are arranged in sources. Each source has different properties/ (values) which can be read out. To read a provided value, specify the source followed by a point and the property name:
Source code
~~source.property~~
The values provide either text or number values. Values that provide number values can be formatted in the output. If a number formatting is desired, the Format string are additionally specified as parameter in parentheses and quotes:
Source code
~~source.property~~ //automatically, incl. units ~~source.property("#.000")~~ //with formatting without unit ~~source.property("#.000 mm²")~~ //with formatting and unit you want
Sources and properties
Note
Please note that numerical values are output according to the ISO standard, i.e. the decimal point is actually a point! The so called notation with “comma” as decimal point is not used here.
