Overview of Documentor : Designing a Document Using Templates : Executing the Template

Executing the Template

After the template is created, you execute it. As part of this process, you enter the value for the parameter act_name in a special form provided by the tool. (In this example, the value for the parameter is the activity’s name, MEASURE.) As a result of specifying the activity name, the appropriate information for the activity MEASURE will be included in the document.

The Documentor produces separate text files, corresponding to the segment sections specified in the template. These files include:

Formatting instructions and other text written between the /@ and @/ markers are passed to the output files verbatim.

If you have made any errors in your template, error messages are displayed during the execution phase. Correct the template and then re-execute it.
