Formatting Tokens
Foswiki defines some standard special tokens that can be used to replace characters in some parameters - notably those to FormattedSearch and IfStatements - to defer evaluation of the parameter until later. These special tokens are often called "escapes", because they allow the character to "escape" from its normal meaning. $n or $n() |
New line. Use $n() if followed by alphanumeric character, e.g. write Foo$n()Bar instead of Foo$nBar Most macros accept parameter strings which are split over multiple lines. This is usually more readable than using Note that newline is not a line break. The browser will wrap the lines together. If you require a line break, displaying the results on two lines, use |
$nop or $nop() |
Is a "no operation". This token gets removed; useful for nested search |
$quot |
Double quote (" ) (\" also works) |
$percent |
Percent sign (% ) ($percnt also works) |
$dollar |
Dollar sign ($ ) |
$lt |
Less than sign (< ) |
$gt |
Greater than sign (> ) |
$amp |
Ampersand (& ) |
$comma |
Comma (, ) |
$dollar
to escape the leading dollar, thus: $dollarpercent
