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 ($) at the end. In case the value has a canonical representation, then the name is extended by the paragraph sign (§). The projectdoc Toolbox provides different representations for dates and URLs (uniform resource locators). | Section |
|---|
| If a document property value is a date using the time element (create with two slashes '//') then the projectdoc Toolbox will provide a standard rendered value in pure text ('$' 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". | Property | Value |
|---|
| Last Modification Date | | | Last Modification Date$ | 30 Aug 2019 | | Last Modification Date§ | 20190830 |

| 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 |
|---|
| This feature is available since the projectdoc Toolbox version 4.0. Since version 4.5 more URL representations of artificial properties are supported. |
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. | Property | Value |

| The creator's and last modifier's login name is rendered by Creator and Last Modifier. Adding a '$' renders the full name. | Version Box |

| The full name property is provided since version 4.0. |

| title | Overriding Artificial Properties |
|---|
| To put full control over the naming of properties into the hands of the users, it is possible to override artificial properties by adding a property with the same name to the projectdoc document. | Version Box |
|---|
| This feature is supported since version 4.6. |
You cannot override encoded property names, like the text (suffix '$') and normalized (suffix '§') properties. | Example Box |

| The artificial property URL points to the current page as an artificial property. This would make it impossible for users to design a doctype with the property URL. |
