n Etcetera. See http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp for more
selectors and combinations of selectors.
l
A selector and text. This is text inside an HTML element (or several HTML
elements) with a specific HTML tag, class or ID. In the Text Script Wizard, click
Selector and text and type the selector and the text in the respective fields.
4.
Click the the downward pointing arrow in the first row in the column Field. Select a data
field from the list that appears.
5.
Add a Prefix and/or a Suffix. The prefix and suffix can contain text and/or HTML tags. If a
field is empty, the prefix and suffix will be ignored, which means you can add line returns
and static text, such as:
l with a Number field, Prefix: Your invoice (one space at the end), Suffix: is now ready
to be viewed!
l with a field LastName, Suffix <br/> (which adds a line break)
l with a field State, Prefix: , (comma then space).
For a comma between fields, use the Prefix of the second field, if you don’t want a
comma when the second field has no value.
6. The Wizard allows you to reformat the data (for example, apply uppercase, apply
thousand separators to numbers, etc.). Click the column Format, click the downward
pointing arrow and select one of the formats. See "Formatting variable data" on the facing
page.
7. Add as many data fields as you need, following the same procedure.
8.
Optionally, you can click Options to specify where and how the script inserts its results:
l
As HTML. HTML elements in the results are processed and displayed as HTML
elements. For instance, <b>this is bold</b> will be displayed as this is
bold. This is the default setting.
l
As text. This inserts the results as-is, meaning HTML tags and elements are
displayed as text in the output. In this scenario, "<br>" shows up in the text and does
not insert a line break.
l
As the value of an attribute of an HTML element. The selector of the script should
be an HTML element. Which attributes are available depends on the selected
HTML element. If the script's selector is an image (<img> element) for example, and
the attribute is src, the script will modify the image's source. The script's results
should be a valid value for the chosen attribute.
