Parameter | Description |
---|---|
words | (Required) string of text to break up. |
delimiters | (Optional) List of single characters which define word boundaries. Defaults to space, comma, and dot. |
tabs | (Optional, Rare) Setting Tabs=T causes the list of words to break at tab boundaries only, and runs of tabs are not collapsed. This assists in parsing special formats where two tabs in a row are important and should not be skipped. |
Tag | Description |
---|---|
[index] | A number from 1 to the total number of words in the text indicating the word's index position in the text. |
[word] | Text of the word currently being displayed. |
[delimiter] | Text of the delimiter(s) which caused this word to break. |
[break] | From version 8.1, if the [listwords] context sees the [break] tag while executing, it will stop, once it finishes the current loop. Thus the [break] tag should only appear in a [showif] statement that is evaluated at the end (bottom) of the loop. |
