Calyx RIM 7.0 Publishing

Multi-Line Variables

You can create Multi-Line (multiline) variables within overlay or cover page templates by defining starting and ending variable codes within a Word document, which is then saved as a template.

The Multi-Line stamping functionality applies only to Assembly User-Defined Variables.

Assembly User-Defined Variables can be defined system-wide in Calyx RIM Data Administration. They can also be assembly specific, defined in Assembly Publishing Settings. For any other type of variable to be stamped as Multi-Line, it must be nested inside an Assembly User-Defined Variable.

For an Assembly User-Defined Variable to be stamped as Multi-Line on a cover page or overlay, the Variable Stamp Type must be set to Multi-Line text in Calyx RIM Data Administration or in the Assembly Publishing Settings. In addition, the Variable placeholder (or attribute) on the  pages of the Cover Page or Overlay template must include beginning and ending placeholders.

The area of the template defined by the starting and ending variable codes is the variable placeholder where the variable value will be inserted. Variable codes are surrounded with angle bracket delimiters.

The variable code cannot contain spaces. However, spaces are permitted between the variable code and the delimiters.
  • Starting variable code: <my_variable_code     >
  • Closing variable code: <     !my_variable_code>

Starting Calyx RIM variable code: <my_variable_code>

  • The first starting angle bracket is considered the left limit of the variable placeholder
  • The top of the starting variable code is considered the upper limit of the variable placeholder

Ending Calyx RIM variable codes are prefixed with an exclamation: <!my_variable_code>

  • The last angle bracket of the ending variable code is considered the right limit of the variable placeholder
  • The bottom of the ending variable code is considered the lower limit of the variable placeholder
