Text manipulation of a saved Clause

Changing the format of the output of a Clauses.Select task, using one of the Text manipulation tasks, results in the RTF controls being displayed in a document.

If you embed a Clauses.Select task in one of the following Text manipulation tasks, the result displays the RTF controls in the document together with the contents of the Clause:

The reason for this is that these tasks manipulate the format of the RTF codes as well as the contents of the Clause. If the format of the RTF codes is altered, they are no longer readable and are assumed to be text.

In the GhostFill Clause Editor, precede the Clause itself with a SetBlock task and end it with an EndBlock task.

For example:

The Clause will then be similar to the following:

%[SetBlock('NewFormat')]

The body of the Clause.

%[EndBlock()]

Then, in your template, insert the following two FillPoints:

%[Clauses.Select('\Application', 'ClauseName')]%[UpperCase('NewFormat')]

The result will be:

THE BODY OF THE CLAUSE.

NOTE

The SetBlock variable "NewFormat" can be any name you prefer.

(See the GhostFill Scripting Language Guide for more information on tasks.)
