titleProperties in different Representations

A property may provide its value in different representations.

The basic concept it that the pure text representation of a property has the same name as the property, but puts a dollar sign ($) at the end. In case the value has a canonical representation, then the name is extended by the paragraph sign (§).

The projectdoc Toolbox provides different representations for dates and URLs (uniform resource locators).

Section
titleDates

If a document property value is a date using the time element (create with two slashes '//') then the projectdoc Toolbox will provide a standard rendered value in pure text ('$' version) and a normalized representation of the date ('§' version). The normalized representation can be used to order the elements by the date.

Example Box

Example for the artificial property "Last Modification Date".

Section
titleUniform Resource Locators

For each HTML link with an absolute URL the projectdoc Toolbox provides the names of the link labels ('$' version) and the list of URLs from the HTML href attribute ('§' version).

Version Box
since4.0

This feature is available since the projectdoc Toolbox version 4.0.

A URL is considered to be absolute if it includes the scheme (e.g. http://).

Example Box

Example for a property with a reference to an external site.
