Functions and procedures in Libraries

Libraries are a means to create reusable instructions when Master Templates are executed. While Includes are compiled in Master Templates, Libraries are self-contained, dynamic components.

Libraries can contain different kinds of functions and procedures:

• Formatting functions used to format Fields in Text Blocks.

  You can extend the list of available functions by defining your own format functions in a Library.

• Filter functions used to filter Text Blocks in Text Block Lists.
• Export functions and procedures can be used in Master Templates.

  These functions and procedures cannot produce word processor instructions.

• Procedures that will be used as dynamic exit points.
