Syntax | Description |
---|---|
<attribute> | Evaluates to the value of attribute |
<i>, <i0> | The iteration number indexed from one and from zero, respectively, when referenced within a template being applied to an attribute or attributes. |
<attribute.property> | Looks for property of attribute as a property (C#), then accessor methods like |
<attribute.(expr)> | Indirect property lookup. Same as attribute.property except use the value of expr as the property_ name. Evaluates to the empty string if no such property is found. |
<multi-valued-attribute> | Concatenation of |
<multi-valued-attribute; separator=expr> | Concatenation of |
<[mine, yours]> | Creates a new multi-valued attribute (a list) with elements of |
<template(argument-list)> | Include template. The argument-list is a list of attribute assignments where each assignment is of the form arg-of-template=expr where expr is evaluated in the context of the surrounding template |
<(expr)(argument-list)> | Include template whose name is computed via expr. The argument-list is a list of attribute assignments where each assignment is of the form attribute=expr. Example |
<attribute:template(argument-list)> | Apply template to attribute. The optional argument-list is evaluated before application so that you can set attributes referenced within template. The default attribute |
<attribute:(expr)(argument-list)> | Apply a template, whose name is computed from expr, to each value of attribute. Example |
<attribute:t1(argument-list): ... :tN(argument-list)> | Apply multiple templates in order from left to right. The result of a template application upon a multi-valued attribute is another multi-valued attribute. The overall expression evaluates to the concatenation of all elements of the final multi-valued attribute resulting from templateN's application. |
<attribute:{anonymous-template}> | Apply an anonymous template to each element of attribute. The iterated |
<attribute:{argument-name_ | _anonymous-template}> | Apply an anonymous template to each element of attribute. Set the argument-name to the iterated value and also set |
<a1,a2,...,aN:{argument-list_ | _anonymous-template}> | Parallel list iteration. March through the values of the attributes a1..aN, setting the values to the arguments in argument-list in the same order. Apply the anonymous template. There is no defined |
<attribute:t1(),t2(),...,tN()> | Apply an alternating list of templates to the elements of attribute. The template names may include argument lists. |
<first(attr)> | The first or only element of attr. You can combine operations to say things like first(rest(names)) to get second element. |
<last(attr)> | The last or only element of attr. |
<rest(attr)> | All but the first element of attr. Returns nothing if $attr$ a single valued. |
<trunc(attr)> | returns all but last element |
<strip(attr)> | Returns an iterator that skips any null values in $attr$. strip (x) |
<length(attr)> | Return an integer indicating how many elements in length $attr$ is. Single valued attributes return 1. Strings are not special; i.e., length("foo") is 1 meaning "1 attribute". Nulls are counted in lists so a list of 300 nulls is length 300. If you don't want to count nulls, use length(strip(list)). |
| escaped delimiter prevents |
| special character(s): space, newline, tab, carriage return. Can have multiple in single <...> expression. |
| Unicode character(s). Can have multiple in single <...> expression. |
| Comments, ignored by StringTemplate. |
