Repeat 'Series Connector'
In the previous examples, the text was repeated 'intact ' with no embellishment except the incremented variables.
However, you may wish your 'repeated' text to appear in the final version of your document in a 'series' style display, with commas and a conjunction in the appropriate location , e.g., "[child@1], [child@2], [child@3] and [child@4].
To accomplish this, you will want to add a 'series connector' to the <<*Repeat*>> prompt. It is a very easy step.
There are only two possible series connectors: "(and)" and "("or"). Just type the desired connect "(and)" or "(or)" immediately after the '<<*Repeat" keyword.
Examples:
No series connector:
<<*Repeat*[ChildName]>>
Result, if "3" repeats chosen:
[ChildName@1] [ChildName@2] [ChildName@3]
With a series connector:
<<*Repeat(and)*[ChildName]>>
Result, if "3" repeats chosen:
[ChildName@1], [ChildName@2] and [ChildName@3]
With a series connector and a group:
<<*Repeat(and)*!NumChildren!*[ChildName], [ChildDOB],>>
and the same variable(s) elsewhere in document:
<<*Repeat(and)*!NumChildren!*[ChildName]>>
Result, if "3" repeats chosen:
[ChildName@1], [ChildDOB@1], [ChildName@2], [ChildDOB@2], and [ChildName@3], [ChildDOB@3],
and elsewhere in document:
[ChildName@1], [ChildName@2] and [ChildName@3]
Note: With series connectors, not only is the conjunction 'and' or 'or' added, but the appropriate commas separating the initial elements in the listing are added.)
