Variable Code and Delimiters

Variables are stamped on overlay files using the less-than sign or the greater-than sign, < and >, surrounding the variable's code. When a document is published, the delimiters and variable code are replaced with the resolved variable value. The space between the delimiters determines the size of the text to be placed at that position. Any text that extends beyond these limitations is clipped. You can align the final stamp of each variable as follows: — <Left_Aligned >

— < Right_Aligned>

— < Centered >

The fonts used for variables in Overlay Templates must be installed on all Ennov InSight Rendering servers used to publish output with these overlays.

In addition to size and alignment, the delimiters and variable code specify the font, point size, and formatting of the text. In order to be correctly recognized and formatted, the delimiters and variable code must all share the same font, point size, and formatting.
