It inserts the content of a phrase into another template. This allows you to reuse the same text in many templates.

This works with both plain and formatted templates.

 

 

 

Description

 

You can search by template or by glossary / group

 

1.Search by template: this is the default way to select a template, and it allows you to insert a template identified by its Id. If a template doesn't have an Id, PhraseExpander will ask you to assign one.

2.Search by glossary name: it returns the nth template in a glossary (ordered by their description) or a random one

 

Syntax

 

{#insert id -[fromGroup]#}

id: the id of the template to insert, or the description of the group (if the fromGroup option is set)

[fromGroup]: if this option is set, the id contains the description of the glossary or group

 n - select the n-'th element in the list (n between 1 and 99): elements are displayed in alphabetical order by description

 random - choose a template in the list at random
