Property names in templates
Property names are preceded by a special character as
follows:
[ @ | ? | ~ | # | & ]<identifier>
The schematic page editor processes the property
according to the special character as shown in the
following table.
Separator characters include commas (,), periods (.),
semi-colons (;), forward slashes (/), and vertical
bars ( | ). You must always use the same character to
specify an opening-closing pair of separators.
Note You can use different separator characters to nest conditional
property clauses.
