For a full list of Formatter, see Formatters List
Usage
Formatter are appended to the last part of the expression (Data Source or Variables) and are separated by a colon.
[[ Expression:Formatter ]]
Example
[[ds:/Stars/actor/name:upper]] is all caps, [[ds:/Stars/actor/name]] isn't.
Will yield:
BRAD PITT is all caps, Brad Pitt isn't.
Multiple Formatters
You can use multiple on the same expression:
- The first one begins with a colon
- Successive ones use the pipe “|” character to indicate the start of another formatter, for example
[[ds:/Stars/actor/name:upper|html]]
This example will first apply the “upper” formatter and subsequently the “html” formatter.
