TEXT SCRAMBLING in TRIAL VERSION OUTPUT! In evaluation mode, Help+Manual will scramble individual characters in random words in your published output files. This is a limitation of the free trial version. This help system was created with an evaluation copy of Help+Manual.

 

 The structure of a simple <<*Repeat*>> block is simply the introductory word "<<*Repeat*" followed by whatever text you want to repeat, followed by a closing ">>"

   Example (The colors are added for illustration purposes. They are not required):

  <<*Repeat*Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.>>

   When this above is encountered during a document assembly session, Pathagoras will pause and ask "How many times do you want to repeat this text?". If, let's say, your answer to the question is 3, the 'return' of the function will be

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

If you add an 'Enter' just before the closing '>>', i.e.,

<<*Repeat*Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

>>

the processed text will appear like this:

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

 

To set a default value for the number of repeat, type that value inside of parentheses just before the close of the administrative text. E.g.,

<<*Repeat*(3)*Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.
