Tagged Value Substitution Macros
Tagged Value macros are a special form of field substitution macros, which provide access to element tags and the corresponding Tagged Values. They can be used in one of two ways:
· | Direct Substitution |
· | Conditional Substitution |
Direct Substitution
This form of the macro directly substitutes the value of the named tag into the output.
Structure: %<macroName>:"<tagName>"%
<macroName> can be one of:
· | attTag |
· | classTag |
· | connectorDestElemTag |
· | connectorDestTag |
· | connectorSourceElemTag |
· | connectorSourceTag |
· | connectorTag |
· | linkAttTag |
· | linkTag |
· | opTag |
· | packageTag |
· | paramTag |
This corresponds to the tags for attributes, Classes, operations, Packages, parameters, connectors with both ends, elements at both ends of connectors and connectors including the attribute end.
<tagName> is a string representing the specific tag name.
Example
%opTag:"attribute"%
Conditional Substitution
This form of the macro mimics the conditional substitution defined for field substitution macros.
Structure: %<macroName>:"<tagName>" ( == "<test>" ) ? <subTrue> ( : <subFalse> ) %
Where:
· | <macroName> and <tagName> are as defined above |
· | ( <text> ) denotes that <text> is optional |
· | <test> is a string representing a possible value for the macro |
· | <subTrue> and <subFalse> can be a combination of quoted strings and the keyword value; where the value is used, it gets replaced with the macro's value in the output |
Examples
%opTag:"opInline" ? "inline" : ""%
%opTag:"opInline" ? "inline"%
%classTag:"unsafe" == "true" ? "unsafe" : ""%
%classTag:"unsafe" == "true" ? "unsafe"%
Tagged Value macros use the same naming convention as field substitution macros.
