Template Tags

This section describes all the template tags that can be used to author a document template. During the Document Generation Process , the Document Generation API replaces the template tags in the document template with the input data to generate the output document.

All the tags are JSONata compliant.
All tags should be kept within a 1000-character limit.

Placeholder Variables

A placeholder(text tags) gets replaced by the actual input data.

How to insert Placeholder Variables

A placeholder variable can only be applied to an input field of type string, number or boolean.
Please refer to the Arrays section to use array as a placeholder variable.
Formatting applied to the placeholder variable in the document template will be retained in the output document.
For more simplified styling and formatting for the placeholder tag from the input json data, please refer styling and formatting section.

JSON representation of the input data:

{
  "accountName": "Kane Miller",
  "accountNumber": "8324e015-6400",
  "address" : {
    "street": "123 ABC Street",
    "state": "LA",
    "zip": "9XXXX"
  },
  "doctor" : "John Doe"
}

Placeholder tags being replaced by values

Default Value

A default value can be specified for the placeholder variable. In case the specified tag is not present in the input json data, the placeholder gets replaced with the default value.

Placeholder tags with default value set

Optional

Setting placeholder variable as optional will replace the placeholder with an empty string in case the specified variable is not present in the input data.

Placeholder tags with optional image set

Prefix

A prefix value can be specified for the placeholder variable. Doing so will append this value before the result of the tag.

}

Usage

Placeholder tag is replaced by a table generated using the html string provided in the input json. Sample for HTML Table insertion

Placeholder Tags containing <table> HTML element as value in input json data, should be placed in a separate paragraph in the input document template.
Only Inline Styling of Table elements is possible. i.e. using style attribute of <table>. Internal and External styling are not allowed.

Insert Table using table markers

Table tags can also inserted in a document using table markers. Please refer Table Tag with Markers to learn more about the usage of table markers.

Please visit Complex Table Constructs with Table Markers to learn about advanced constructs inside tables.

Insert Table using Placeholder Table Tag

DEPRECATED (Please use Table Tag with Markers)

Rows of a table can be dynamically populated by repeating over an array of objects from the input data.

How to insert Tables

Formatting applied to the table in the document template will be retained in the output document.

JSON representation of the input data:

{
  "subscriptions": [
    {
      "name": "Adobe Document API",
      "price": "99",
      "quantity": "1",

      "price": "199",
      "quantity": "2",
      "amount": "398"
    }
  ]
}

Usage

Create a table with requisite column headers. Add a row to the table and place the template tags referring to the properties of the objects in the array inside the row under the required column headings.

The template tag should indicate the name of the array followed by the property name of the objects in the array. {{subscriptions.name}} illustrates one such template tag where subscriptions refer to the array of objects while name refers to the property of one such object in the array.

Table created with column headers and template tags for each subsequent rows

Table rows are dynamically populated in the output document by repeating over the specified array of objects.
