Help Document

Diagnosis

The layout definition is incorrect.

Processing stops.

Procedure

Maintain the layout definition.

The layout definition consists of the following elements:

$name - field ID

// - vertical subdivision

/ - vertical subdivision without separator line

-- - horizontal subdivision

- - horizontal subdivision without separator line

[] - rectangle frame

() - for generating strips, linked components

The following rules apply:

  • Square brackets determine the frame of the rectangle and can occur both singly and doubly.
  • The layout definition is processed from left to right.
  • Linked components are enclosed in round brackets.
  • Components can be separated by blanks as required.
  • There are no separator lines outside the rectangle.
  • Only lowercase letters may be used in field names. Field names must be unique.

Examples

  • [$a//$b//$c]
  • [$a/$b/$c]
  • [[$a-(($b--$c)//$d)]]
  • $a[[$b--$c]]$e $a[$b[$c]$d]$e.
