Generated Text Category
The Generated text category provides options for specifying generated text, and its formatting characteristics, for an element, context, or condition.
The following table describes the properties in the Generated text category.
Property
Description
Default value
Before-text
Displays the generated content to be added before the element content. Click Edit to open the Generated Text Editor, in which you can specify or edit the generated text.
After-text
Displays the generated content to be added after the element content. Click Edit to open the Generated Text Editor, in which you can specify or edit the generated text.
Numbers and bullets
Add a number or a symbol before an element. The Number option is enabled for contexts and conditions of titles within elements given the Division or Formal Block style, and for elements mapped to the List Item, Block, Paragraph, Inline, or Hidden styles. The Bullet option is enabled only for list items.
Select None to leave the element blank.
Click the Details button after you have specified the Number or Bullet option to open the Number Details dialog box or the Bullet dialog box, respectively. Here you can specify formatting, additional text, and position settings for the numbers/symbols.
None
Repeat title or continuation text (Print/PDF only)
This option is commonly used to generate continued titles at the top or bottom of pages for tables or other formal blocks that span multiple pages. Select Yes in either the At top after break field or the At bottom before break field, depending on where on the page you want the title to repeat. When selected, these options enable the associated Edit buttons that invoke the Generated Text Editor. Use the editor to specify the generated text that is output at the top or bottom of the next column or page whenever the element breaks across a column or page.
Select No for either of these options to simply display the title on the first page of element content.
This option is available only when:
The selected context has the Title style for Base (All Outputs) or Print/PDF outputs.
The selected context has a parent or grandparent. If not, it is not possible for the stylesheet to determine the scope of the repeating title.
Selected
Derivation Mechanism for Generated Text Properties
When you hover over any Generated Text Property, a tooltip is displayed to reflect whether the values are Specified Explicitly, or they are derived. If you want to derive the Generated Text Properties, right-click on the property value and select Derive All Generated Text Properties. When you choose to derive the Generated Text Properties, that selection applies to all the properties. It is not possible to derive some of the properties and specify others explicitly. For more details, see Deriving Property Values.
