- Type
This macro transcludes the values of properties of another document. The properties of the values to fetch are specified in a template.
Properties
Document
The document the properties are part of.
If not specified, the current document is used. This allows to render the value of a property of the same document at several places of this document, without duplicating the value.
Within the Document Properties Marker Macro
- you must not reference a property of the same document before it is defined. If you use this macro as the value of a document property, the macro must only reference properties that haven been specified prior.
- do not reference properties of pages with different page access restrictions!
Template
The template to add property references.
The placeholder ${...} references a property value. The placeholder $[...] references a property value and also generates a link to the referenced document. With $<...> the property is rendered as is (as HTML).
The template defaults to
$[Name] - ${Short Description}Since version 4.13 the parameter supports to reference a space property. The name of the space property has to be prefixed with the paragraph sign ('§').
For instance, if the value for the template parameter is specified by the space property my-select, then the value of the template parameter is §my-select.
Since version 5.0.6 the parameter supports a selection of HTML tags to structure the template.
Supported inline elements
bbrcitecodedddtemili
qsmallspanstrikestrongsubsupu
Supported block elements
blockquotedlolppreul
Lowercase Properties
List of property names whose values first letter should be lowercased.
Usually used for short descriptions.
Apply Space Properties
If checked the properties defined by the space of the document this macro is part of are applied as defaults.
Since these values are defaults they will only apply, if no document properties match.
This parameter is available since version 4.13.
Calculate Expression
The content is an expression to be evaluated.
This property is available since version 1.7.0.
Use the Format Pattern to define the output format.
If the document has the properties X with a value of 23 and Y with a value of 42.
If you want to calculate the average of these two values, use this pattern:
(${X} + ${Y}) / 2The result: 32.5
Format Pattern
A format pattern to render an evaluated expression.
This property is available since version 1.7.0.
Use the following symbols to define the pattern:
| Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
. | Decimal Separator |
0 | Digit |
# | Optional Digit |
, | Grouping Separator |
| Currency Sign |
% | Multiply by 100 and show as percentage |
‰ | Multiply by 1000 and show as per mille value |
' | Quote strings (to escape symbols) |
Blank Placeholders
Controls the rendering of unresolved placeholders. Since unresolved placeholders may be further processed by transclusion macros (e.g. the Transclusion Macro), per default unresolved placeholders are rendered.
If this flag is checked, unresolved placeholders will not be rendered (blanked out).
This property is available since version 2.0.
Render Mode
Specify how values from multiple documents are merged.
In case the values are drawn from multiple documents, typically by the use of Deep Links, then this parameter allows to control how the list of names is rendered.
| Render Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| none | The content is rendered as is (default). |
| text | The names are rendered in a comma-separated list. |
| bullet | The names are rendered in a bullet list (the ul HTML element). |
| numbered | The names are rendered in a bullet list (the ol HTML element). |
This parameter is available since version 5.0.8 of the projectdoc Toolbox.
Identifier

Features may supply default configurations dependent on the value of this property.

This parameter is used in the context of Remote Controlled Documents.
Identifier Classes

Autocomplete Space Closure
Define the scope to search for documents in the Autocomplete context.
Only documents within this scope will be accepted by the Autocomplete for the Documents parameter.
Further constraints on the space can be declared by the use of the Autocomplete Constraints parameter.
Default space is the delegate space of the current space.
This parameter is available since version 4.3 of the projectdoc Toolbox.
Before this the space closure could not be changed from its default delegate space.
This property is only used in the context of the Autocomplete function. It is only enforced on Autocomplete in the browser.
Changes to the parameter value will only take effect on the next Autocomplete selections. But there is also no guarantee that the list of selected documents will not be filtered later. The not enforced constraint is that the selected documents should match the constraints.content
Autocomplete Constraints
Provide a Where clause to select on documents for the autocomplete feature of this macro.
This parameter is only to control the autocomplete feature of this macro. If empty, no constraints are put on the list documents presented.

Tiling
Since version 5.0.6 this macro supports rendering block elements, also known as tiling.
Prior to that version block elements could be rendered, but will add additional spacing on top and bottom of the rendered content.
The macro cannot prevent to put empty paragraphs on top and bottom of the element. The following CSS may remove these empty elements and reduce spaces.
div.content-wrapper > p:empty {
display: none;
