   Here is a fairly substantial sample document incorporating many of the above features. It results in a set of reciprocal Husband and Wife Wills. It is based on the same text presented in the 'Dynamic Creation of Variables' section of the Manual, with more of the dynamic Pathagoras features added.

 

Features in use:

<<*AskOptions*>>:

 Notes: Even though this prompt appears first in the document, *AskOptions* prompts are generally created last in the template creation phase. You should have already created and placed your various <<*Options* . . .>> text blocks in the body of the document. AskOptions can be created automatically from the existing <<*Options*. . .>> blocks and placed in an attractive table at the top of the document. Click the above link to see how.

<<*If*>>

 Notes: This too, appears at the top of the document but like other ask prompts, *If* prompts are generally created last. Here, the prompt used to determine if the "Minor Children" question should even be asked. If there are children, no sense in asking if there are  minor children.

Repeats with series connectors and !Groups!

<<*Options*>> with !Groups!

 

   You can copy the sample text in the box below by placing your cursor inside the box, pressing Ctrl-A and then Ctrl-C. Then paste the text into a document (Ctrl-V). Process the page to see how it all comes together.
