Aspose Words Tags Glossary

Hello there!

We’re working with Aspose Word templates and need a way to reliably parse tags used in Aspose Words. Our goal is to extract the underlying fields from these markers so we can validate them against our data model.

For example, here’s how a tag and its extracted fields might look:

Tag Extracted Fields
<<foreach [director in RootData.Directors]>> {RootData, Directors}
<<foreach [ reportee in RootData.Directors.elementAt(0).Reportees]>> {RootData, Directors, Reportees}

The challenge we’re facing is that the Aspose tag syntax is constantly evolving as new features are introduced and existing issues are addressed. This means our internal parser needs frequent updates to keep pace with these changes.

We are aware of following official documentation pages:

It would be incredibly helpful if there were a central index or glossary page that lists all available tag syntax in one place. Ideally, this page would also provide direct links to detailed documentation for each tag and its various components. Without such a resource, tracking the changes to the Aspose tag syntax becomes quite difficult.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

  • How can we stay consistently up-to-date with the latest Aspose tag syntax developments?
  • Where can we find comprehensive documentation that covers all possible tags and their grammar (components/structure)?
  • Are there resources available with examples demonstrating each tag or its components in action?

Thank you for your help!

To stay consistently up-to-date with the latest Aspose tag syntax developments, you can follow these steps:

  1. Official Documentation: Regularly check the official Aspose documentation for updates. This is a reliable source for the latest information on tag syntax.

  2. Release Notes: Monitor the release notes for Aspose.Words, as they often include changes to tag syntax and new features. This will help you track any modifications or additions.

  3. Community Forums: Engage with the Aspose community forums. These forums can be a valuable resource for discussions about tag syntax and any changes that may not yet be reflected in the documentation.

  4. Examples and Tutorials: Look for examples and tutorials that demonstrate the use of tags. While there may not be a comprehensive index of all tags, the documentation typically includes examples that can help clarify usage.

Currently, there isn’t a central index or glossary page specifically for Aspose tag syntax, but the resources mentioned above should help you stay informed about any changes and provide guidance on using the tags effectively.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions!

Tracking Aspose.Words public API changes’ pages is the way to go. The pages always contain information about changes in LINQ Reporting Engine template syntax with links to added or updated relevant LINQ Reporting Engine documentation pages.

Child pages of Template Syntax provide complete and detailed information about all possible tags and switches, there is simply no tag or switch that is not covered by one of the pages.

The mentioned LINQ Reporting Engine documentation pages usually provide examples of usage. If you have a specific question that is not covered by the pages, please feel free to ask here. Additionally, you may want to check Aspose.Words for Java github examples with LINQ Reporting Engine examples among them.

Can you please provide link to Aspose.Words public API changes or tell us how to find it?

@sagaofsilence.dev You can find them in our release notes:
