Help to hack switches 🙏

[Cicorione]

Hi @pgundlach,

I already tested that you can't break tags with the switch one, but I wonder if there is any tricky work-around for hacking them.

I have switch case blocks that now I would like to refactor because are "long" while they actually change for few details, for instance:

left

<PlaceObject column="1">
<Table width="{$noc * 0.75}" stretch="no" fontfamily="title" border-collapse="collapse">
<Columns>
<Column width="4mm" />
<Column width="3*" />
[...]

right

<PlaceObject column="1" row="10">
<Table width="8" stretch="no" fontfamily="title" border-collapse="collapse">
<Columns>
<Column width="4mm" />
<Column width="4*" />
[...]

The goal here is to reduce code and to improve its understanding; any recommendations?

Thanks! 🙏

Perhaps you need something like a function which accepts a few parameters and then you can modify the code that is inserted? See https://doc.speedata.de/publisher/en/programming/#ch-programmingfunctions

Or I completely misunderstood your question.

Thank you Patrick, great advise! 🙏

I have to study it and see what I am able to do.
