Document Templates
A template is a text file consisting of instructions for generating a document. The instructions are written in the Document Generation Language (DGL). This section, divided into three parts, explains the fundamentals of DGL:
Part one covers the basic concepts of DGL and shows you the general principles of template writing. In part two, we discuss identifiers and the types of data they can represent. We also detail the various kinds of expressions that you can use in DGL statements. In part three, we present each DGL statement.
In your template, you can call functions that extract the information stored in the specification database, and write this information into your document. The use of Database Extraction Functions is covered in Overview of the Extraction Functions.
