Tagged Value Substitution Macros

Tagged Value macros are a special form of field substitution macros, which provide access to element tags and the corresponding Tagged Values. They can be used in one of two ways:

Direct Substitution
Conditional Substitution

Direct Substitution

This form of the macro directly substitutes the value of the named tag into the output.

Structure: %<macroName>:"<tagName>"%

<macroName> can be one of:

attTag
classTag
connectorDestElemTag
connectorDestTag
connectorSourceElemTag
connectorSourceTag
connectorTag
linkAttTag
linkTag
opTag
packageTag
paramTag

This corresponds to the tags for attributes, Classes, operations, Packages, parameters, connectors with both ends, elements at both ends of connectors and connectors including the attribute end.

<tagName> is a string representing the specific tag name.

Example

%opTag:"attribute"%

Conditional Substitution

This form of the macro mimics the conditional substitution defined for field substitution macros.

Structure: %<macroName>:"<tagName>" (== "<test>") ? <subTrue> (: <subFalse>) %

Where:

< macroName > and < tagName > are as defined above
(< text >) denotes that <text> is optional
<test> is a string representing a possible value for the macro
< subTrue > and < subFalse > can be a combination of quoted strings and the keyword value; where the value is used, it gets replaced with the macro's value in the output

Examples

%opTag:"opInline" ? "inline" : ""%

%opTag:"opInline" ? "inline"%

%classTag:"unsafe" == "true" ? "unsafe" : ""%

%classTag:"unsafe" == "true" ? "unsafe"%

Tagged Value macros use the same naming convention as field substitution macros.
