Span Definition

A conditional span is a range in the template that is to be included in the generated document if some condition or business rule is met. The range is indicated by surrounding the text in brackets. Square brackets are most often used for this purpose and thus any text within these brackets is conditional upon the business rule applied to the span.
A span definition takes the general form:
Cell
usage-expression
Punctuation
punctuation-text
Style
style-expression
Locale
locale-expression
Reference
span-identifier
Value
value-expression
AuthorNote
note-text
where the usage expression is either a Conditional Span or a Repeat Span and where the Cell prefix, Punctuation, Style, Locale, Reference, Value and AuthorNote are all optional.
