Overview of Documentor : Documentor Interface with Formatting Systems : Embedding Formatting Instructions

Embedding Formatting Instructions

You can embed formatting instructions in a template. Upon execution, these instructions are passed verbatim to the output segments. When these segments are assembled and sent to a formatting processor, the instructions are interpreted and a final, formatted document is produced.

You can embed formatting instructions for any kind of formatting system or word processor. Some systems are interactive in nature; that is, you do not directly see the formatting instructions used by the system when working with it.

If you are working with such a system, you must first determine the particular language (set of instructions) that can be used by the system in batch mode. These instructions can then be embedded in the template in the same way as for any other formatting system.
