The Text Substitution Language (TSL) is used for adding Attribute, Expression, IF/ELSE logic and HTML to certain types of text |
TSL stands for “Text Substitution Language”. Its function is to substitute TSL-anchors at run-time by the current attribute value.
Additional formatting of these substituted texts is available, for dates and numbers. Furthermore, by using TSL statements combined with functions and expressions, it enables you to create conditional text blocks.
| It is possible to use HTML formatting within TSL. If you choose to do so, make sure that the channel you are using supports HTML. |
Where can I use TSL?
The Text Substitution Language (TSL) can for example be used in these Blueriq elements:
Attribute (question text)
Validation rule (message text)
