Since: 4.0

This macro uses supplied properties from aspect documents.

Aspect Support

This is basically a pre-configured version of the Document Properties Supplier From Documents Macro to make the use of Aspects easier.

In case you need more control over the form of incorporating properties, replace this specialized macro with the generic version.

Properties

Override

If checked information passed from the space configuration will be overridden by this macro.

Note that every property will be overridden.

Hide

If checked the table containing the properties will not be rendered.

For some pages the metadata is irrelevant to the reader or may be rendered by other means. In this case set this flag to true.

The value may be set by the Space Property hide-metadata. If you want to override this, use Override.

Identifier

The unique identifier of the set of properties in this document.

The identifier allows to list only properties imported by this macro. In case more than one Document Properties Supplier From Documents Macro is used on a document, a unique identifier is required.

Render As

Select a rendering mode for the document properties.

The following values are valid:

Value	Description
table	The properties are rendered in a table. The first column is the property key, the second the property value. Controls are not rendered, since they are not important to the reader.
definition list	The properties are rendered as a definition list. The property key key is the definition term, the property value the definition value.
horizontal table	The properties are rendered with a heading (property key) in the first and the data (property value) in the second row. Available since version 6.0.4.

The value may be set by the Space Property render-metadata-as. If you want to override this, use Override.

CSS Class

This controls the formatting of the table. The CSS class applied to the table or definition list.
