Group

Summary

The group tag is used only within the body of a multiple tag to provide additional formatting control between subsets of a multirow data source. The tag takes a column name from the enclosing multiple tag as its only attribute. It repeats a template section as long as the value of the column does not change from row to row.

Usage

<table>

<multiple name="shirts">

  <!-- Start a new row if the style changes -->

  <tr>
    <td>
      @shirts.style@
    </td>
    <td>

  <!-- List colors for the same style in a single cell -->

  <group column="style">
    @shirts.color@<br>
  </group>

  <!-- End the row if the style is going to change on the next row

    </td>
  </tr>

</multiple>

</table>

Notes

• Group tags may be nested to perform even more complex formatting.
