PDF printing coding language

[esendino]

Hello.

in the documentation on how to encode PDFs there seem to be two versions.

In https://www.espocrm.com/documentatio...-each-iterator

there is this example:


<table>
<!-- {{#each itemList}} -->
<tr>
<td>{{name}}</td>
</td>{{amount}}</td>
</tr>
<!-- {{/each}} -->
</table>

In https://www.espocrm.com/documentatio...content-tables there is this other coding

{{#tableTag width="80%" border="0.5pt" cellpadding="4"}}
{{#each opportunities}}
{{#trTag}}
{{#tdTag width="40%"}}{{name}}{/tdTag}}
{{#tdTag width="30%"}}{{assignedUserName}}{/tdTag}}
{{#tdTag width="30%" align="right"}}{{stage}}{{/tdTag}}
{{/trTag}}
{{/each}}
{{/tableTag}}

the differences on how to code are manifold:

In the first case {{ is used only in some instructions and those with <!--
The # is incorporated in all instructions
the Tag suffix is used. This is the only thing that is mentioned. Nothing said on the other two issues

i have my templates coded as the first versions and they work perfectly, but I see the second is recommended

I would like to know if you can use both versions of the code indistinctly or I must update my templates

Best regards

PD Example of one of my codings:

{{! LISTA DE LAS CAJAS BOXSPACE}}
<table width="100%" border="1px solid black" cellpadding="3" class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr style="background-color:#085294;color:#FFFFFF;">
<td colspan="5" align="center"><b>CAJAS BOXSPACE</b></td>
</tr>
<tr style="font-size:10pt; background-color:#085294;color:#FFFFFF;">
<td width="10%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 1<br>Pedido</td>
<td width="35%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 2<br>Cód. UniBox</td>
<td width="20%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 3<br>Referencia</td>
<td width="35%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 4<br>Tipo</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<!-- {{#each lGOrdenLineas}} -->
<!-- {{#if lGSuscripcionDescripcion}} -->
<!-- {{else}} -->
<tr style="font-size:10pt;">
<td width="10%" align="center">{{../name}}</td>
<td width="35%"> </td>
<td width="20%" align="center">{{lGSuscripcion}}</td>
<td width="35%">{{lGTipoProducto}}</td>
</tr>
<!-- {{/if}} -->
<!-- {{/each}} -->
</tbody>
</table>


{{! LISTA DEL RESTO DE COSAS}}
<table width="100%" border="1px solid black" cellpadding="3" class="table table-bordered">

<td width="20%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 3<br>Referencia</td>
<td width="35%" align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">Campo 4<br>Descripción</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<!-- {{#each lGOrdenLineas}} -->
<!-- {{#if lGSuscripcionDescripcion}} -->
<tr style="font-size:10pt;">
<td width="10%" align="center">{{../name}}</td>
<td width="35%"> </td>
<td width="20%" align="center">{{lGSuscripcion}}</td>
<td width="35%">Otros: {{lGSuscripcionDescripcion}}</td>
</tr>
<!-- {{/if}} -->
<!-- {{/each}} -->

</table>

No need to update. The second way was introduced later as an easier way to define tables.

@esendino
can you please share how you did it the normal way? can find many <table> <td> <tr>examples
however the data doesn't show in the PDF Template, just the code

the (tagtable) method shows data but won't space correctly and all the fields print on top of each other - there doesn't seem to be a reference document for how (tagtable) works, just epso forum comes up in the search...
