Introduction to mergecommands

Mergecommands

Every module has it's own default set of mergecommands. It's syntax is as follows:

[ strmodulename-commandname ]

you can paste a mergecommand in your html main template, module, or directly in your cms content.
It then will be replaced by it's corresponding dynamicly calculated value.

  • Some mergecommands are available in every module. They are called global mergecommands.
  • Some mergecommands are available within a specific module only.
  • Some mergecommands are available within the iteration section of a specific module only.

Mergevariables

Mergevariables are present in memory for you. You use them to build custom mergecommands within a module.
When a specific mergevariable is not present you can always calculate one yourself by querying document data and assign it to your own mergevariable. You could recognize this from working with HCL @Formulas for building computed text data snippets, hidewhen or input translation formulas.

Each article in this section will show you the available mergecommands and variables belonging to that module.
