Built-in Functions

More then 60 build-in functions are available to format, convert or otherwise manipulate both numerical and text values.

...
#
@(Cust.Name)
@(Cust.Street) @(Cust.Housenumber)
@(uppercases(Cust.City))
							Nijmegen, @(date(today))
...
#
...

Might result in:

Aia Software b.v.
Kerkenbos 10 -129
NIJMEGEN
							Nijmegen, 12 April 1999
...

In the above example, three built-in functions are used: uppercases, date and today.

uppercases will convert a text into the same text, but -as the name suggests- in all uppercases.

today has no parameters and will result in a numerical representation of the current date. In the above example, this is 19990412.

The function date will print a date with the name of the month 'in words'. Of course the result of the date function depends on the language being used, something that can be changed while producing the text. This is especially useful for internationally operating companies.
