Assign word processor instructions

Variables and members with the TEXT type can also contain Microsoft Word instructions in their content. In a Master Template, the fixed string notation "…" includes all layout and word processor instructions (tables, paragraph breaks, tabs) with their properties in the value. These properties include positioning and styling information. Microsoft Word instructions are also stripped for the AiaDocXML output and HTML output.

During the Document Pack composition, any word processor instructions assigned to the Data Backbone of a Data Preparation Template are removed once the Data Preparation Template is executed.

An example is provided here.

TEXT break := "¶" 
#
First line@(break)Next line
#

This example produces the following result.

First line¶
Next line

The First line¶ paragraph will be produced in the paragraph style and layout from the TEXT break := "¶ paragraph in the Master Template.

It is not possible to assign word processor instructions to variables using the fixed string notation "…" in Code Libraries. Code Libraries ignore all word processor instructions in their content.

Statements within Code Libraries can manipulate variables containing word processor instructions.
