The Template object
${template}
Contains information about the template. The default use of
${template} expands to a name based on the template name. A
four digit sequence number is added at the end of the basename. The
file extension is determined by the selected output technology.
${template} is basically a short hand for ${template.base}_
${template.nr,0000}.${template.ext}
The 0000 in ${template.nr,0000} is a format pattern that takes care of
formatting the number with at least four digits and leading zero's. See
"Formatting date and number values " on page827, below.
Example
If the template file is C:\Data\My-Invoices-EN.OL-template which gets
printed to PDF, then ${template} expands to My-Invoices-EN_
0001.pdf
${template.base}
Returns the base name of the template, which is the name of the
template file without its path and without the trailing file extension.
Example
If the template file is C:\Data\My-Invoices-EN.OL-template, then
${template.base} expands to My-Invoices-EN
${template.name}
Returns the name of the template file without the path.
Example
If the template file is C:\Data\My-Invoices-EN.OL-template, then
${template.name} expands to My-Invoices-EN.OL-template
Note, that ${template.name} this still includes the extension of the
template file (.OL-template in the example above).
${template.nr}
An automatic sequence number belonging to the current output file. It is
automatically incremented for each new output file that gets created.
Note, that multiple output files are created, for example, when output
separation has been selected for output creation.
