Example of Block Syntaxes
These examples illustrate the different available syntaxes for Merge-Blocks.
Absolute Syntax
The block is defined by a beginning TBS tag and an ending TBS tag.
[blk1;block=begin][blk1.val]
[blk1;block=end]
Relative Syntax
The block is defined relatively to the HTML (or XML) tags that surround the TBS tag. Only a single TBS tag defines the block, instead of a couple of TBS tags.
| [blk2.val][blk2;block=tr] |
Simplified Syntax
The bloc definition is included inside a TBS field. It's much more simple to write.
| [blk3.val;block=tr] |
On a text line
Use the symbol "_" to define a block on a simple text line, independently of HTML tags.
[blk4.val;block=_]
With concatenation
It's possible to define a block on several following HTML tags. For this, you just have to indicate the tags to concatenate by separating them with "+". In the example below, the block is bounded by two rows.
| [blk5.val;block=tr+tr] | |
| [blk5.val] |
With encapsulation
It's possible to define a block on an HTML tag of a higher level. For this, you just have to set the encapsulation level using parentheses. In the example below, the block is bounded by the pink row.

Without Block Definition
If the block definition is omitted, then only the first record is merged.
Example: [blk7.val]
