What are template tags?

Template tags are placeholders within your documents that are automatically replaced with fields when creating or updating a signing package. This allows for greater flexibility and automation in document templating, as you can create documents with template tags that adapt to different contexts and user inputs.

Tag syntax

Template tags are defined directly in your documents using double curly braces {{ }} and can include various parameters to customize their behavior. For example, a simple template tag for a text field might look like this:
{{signer_1:text}}
When the document is processed, this tag will be replaced with a text field for the first signer.

Structure

Template tags generally follow this structure:
{{signer_<signer_number>:<tag_type>[_<tag_id>][_<tag_property>]...}}
