CISFO:REPLACE2

The CISFO:REPLACE2 is very similar to CISFO:TEXTREPLACE2. It outputs variable text in the same way as CISFO:TEXTREPLACE2. The only difference: CISFO:TEXTREPLACE2 represents a piece of text within a text block - CISFO:REPLACE2 itself represents a whole text block.

The most important definition of the TEXTREPLACE2 control is the definition which Java Property is bound to obtain the text at runtime. The Java property is part of the data object - the counter part of the page (see property objectclass of control FOPPAGE2).

For some data types, you can customize the rendering via additional properties such as decimaldigitsprop and booleantextprop.

For example, to render the value of a CHECKBOX control as "YES" or "NO", proceed as follows:

  1. In the CISFO:REPLACE2 control, set the property booleantextprop.

    <cisfo:replace2 valueprop="myvalue" booleantextprop="mytextprop"
     datatype="boolean"></cisfo:replace2>
  2. At runtime, provide a comma-separated list of values for the rendering of the Boolean value in the "mytextprop" field. The values for this example would be "YES;NO".

For example, to render a float value with no decimal digits, proceed as follows:

  1. In the CISFO:REPLACE2 control, set the property decimaldigitsprop.

    <cisfo:replace2 valueprop="myvalue" decimaldigitsprop="mydigitsprop"
     datatype="float"></cisfo:replace2>
  2. At runtime, provide the number of digits in the "mydigitsprop" field. The value for this example would be "0".


Properties

Basis
valueprop

Adapter property that provides the value that is output within the control.

Obligatory  
datatype

Data type of the output. Some valid values are "date, float, int, time, timestamp".

Dependent from the data type the text may be converted before being rendered.

Example: If specifying "date" then the output will be transferred from "YYYYMMDD" into a date display dependent format, e.g. "DD.MM.YYYY" or "MM/DD/YYYY".

Optional

date

float

int

boolean

time

timestamp

decimaldigitsprop

Adapter property that passes back information how many decimal digits are to be displayed. Only used with the datat type "float".

Optional  
booleantextprop

Adapter property that passes back text displayed for "boolean" values. Only use this with the datatype "boolean". The property must provide a string containing the text for "true" and "false" separated by a comma. Example: "Yes

Font
fontfamily

This attribute specifies a priorized list of font family names and/or generic family names. To deal with the problem that a single font may not contain glyphs to display all the characters in a document, or that not all fonts are available on all systems, this property allows authors to specify a list of fonts, all of the same style and size, that are tried in sequence to see if they contain a glyph for a certain character. This list is called a "font set".

Optional

Helvetica

Times

Courier

Symbol

ZapfDingbats

fontsize

This attribute describes the size of the font when set as "solid". The font size corresponds to the em square, a concept used in typography. Note that certain glyphs may bleed outside their em squares. Some valid values are "xxsmall", "medium", "smaller" or a concrete size, e.g. "110%".

Optional

Optional

normal

italic

oblique

fontvariant

In a small-caps font, the glyphs for lowercase letters look similar to the uppercase ones, but in a smaller size and with slightly different proportions. The "font-variant" property requests such a font for bicameral (having two cases, as with Roman script). This property has no visible effect for scripts that are unicameral (having only one case, as with most of the world's writing systems). Valid values are "normal" and "small-caps".

Optional

normal

small-caps

fontweight

This attribute specifies the weight of the font. Some valid values are 'normal', 'bold', 'bolder', 'lighter', '100' or '900', where 'normal' is the same as '400', 'bold' is the same as '700'.
