Appendix 2: Template Instructions

HotDocs Instruction What It Does
IF instruction Designates that a variable, word, phrase, or paragraph should only be included in the assembled document when a certain condition is met.
REPEAT instruction Repeats variables and text so that users can enter more than just one answer.
INSERT instruction Inserts another template into the current template. (For example, perhaps you have a separate file that includes boilerplate language. You can use a separate document for this language and then just insert it wherever you need it.) In most cases, inserted templates appear "inline" with the template into which they are inserted.
