Formatted text :

In order to display a parameter value in a text, you need to use " < " before its first character and put a " > " after its last character. It gives "<@26>" or "<Length>".

You can also format the display of this parameter. You can impose a format after the parameter name using one of the following key words. Each key word must be introduced by using a vertical bar (" | ").

In the following examples, a = 2, b = 0.5, c = 0.002, d = 2cm, e = -0.12345.

scale : will display the parameter in scaling format

Ex: <a|scale> = 2:1, <b|scale> = 1:2, <c|scale> = 1:500

unit : will display the parameter in the specified unit.

Ex: <d|mm> = 20mm

abs : will display the absolute value of the parameter.

Ex: <e|abs> = 0.12345

, (coma) : will display a coma as decimal separator.

Ex: <b|,> = 0,5

complete : will display the maximum number of desired decimals.

Ex: <e|3> = -0.123

0 + complete : will display the desired number of decimal completing by zeros.

Ex: <b|3> = 0.500

NB: All these key words have no influence on the display of a named text.
