Trouble shooting

Content from Tempus Serva is not displayed inside tags

  • Disable spelling/grammar
  • Take care not to edit the text inside tags
  • Select the whole tag before applying styling
  • Paste tags from notepad or other program without text styling

Subtemplates

Subtemplates can be used for special fields that support the notion.

  • Complex question

The whole sub template is injected into the tag, as if it had been normal data.
