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.

France
England
Spain
Italy
Germany

-> 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.


France
England
Spain
Italy
Germany

-> Simplified Syntax:

The bloc definition is included inside a TBS field. It's much more simple to write.

Spain
Italy

-> On a text line:

Use the symbol "_" to define a block on a simple text line, independently of HTML tags.

-> With Encapsulation:

-> Without Block Definition:

If the block definition is omitted, then only the first record is merged.
