Most of the text properties support inline expressions for adding icons or coloring text parts. Each expression starts with character { and ends with character }. Nested expressions are not supported.

{chr:{COLOR}:{CHARACTER}} |
{chr:msx-red:copy}{chr:msx-red:#169} |
0.1.145 | Colored character entity. The {COLOR} part must be replaced with the color value and the {CHARACTER} part must be replaced with an HTML character entity name or number without the leading & and trailing ; character (e.g. "{chr:msx-red:copy}" → "<span style="color:#c9302c">©</span>" → “©”). Please see Colors for possible color values. |
{context:{PROPERTY}} |
{context:label} |
0.1.0 | This is a very special inline expression and can only be used inside the data property of a template object. It is used to reference properties of a templated item. The {PROPERTY} part must be replaced with any property that is available in the templated item (e.g. if the item has a property "customProperty": "customValue", it can be referenced with "{context:customProperty}" → "customValue"). The referenced property must exist (either in the templated item or in the template object), otherwise the expression can not be replaced and will remain as it is (e.g. "{context:missingProperty}" → "{context:missingProperty}"). Additionally, the value of the referenced property must be indicated as string, otherwise the expression is removed (e.g. "{context:invalidProperty}" → "").Note: Since version 0.1.110, also the properties, live, selection, and options property of a template object supports this inline expression. |
{unknown} |
{unknown} |
0.1.0 | Any unknown expression is returned as it is without the braces (e.g. "{unknown}" → "unknown"). |
