==Notes==

~~===~~'''sslogic~~===~~'''Web Page View fields can use a unique SmartSimple logic interpreter. Web page logic gives you the ability to display certain content or perform certain actions only when specified conditions are met.

SmartSimple logic follows the following template:

The content to be displayed when condition is true

</nowiki>

See [[sslogic|~~here~~SSLogic]] for further details.

~~===~~'''Hyperlink to Web Page View~~===~~'''

You can create a link to a web page view field using the following syntax:

~~<nowiki>~~<a href="@''wpv''.value@">Open WPV</a~~></nowiki~~>

Where '''wpv''' is the name of the Web Page View field.

==Multi-Line Text==

To include Multi-Line Text fields in a {{WPV}} you need use the following syntax to ensure that line breaks are displayed correctly when the page is converted to PDF format.

<div style="display: block; pd4ml-display: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">~Narrative~</div>

<div style="display: none; pd4ml-display: block; white-space: pre; word-wrap: break-word;">~Narrative~</div>

The first div displays correctly in the {{WPV}} and the second div displays correctly in the PDF version
