General concepts for building templates

Document builder
The environment in which the documents/templates are created.
Form
List of all steps and fields, is on the left side of a template.
If-statement
An if/then condition. If X, then Y
Mustaches
To dynamically create a document, mustaches {{ }} are used. To make a field editable in the text, the name of the field must be covered by two mustaches on both sides: {{ field }}. Without mustaches, the fields are not usable.
Operator
A symbol that is used with variables to perform various functions. Think of arithmetic or logical functions. The most commonly used operators are explained below:
​
Arithmetic operators
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
Comparison operators
== is equal to
!= is not equal to
> is greater than
< is smaller than
>= is greater than or > equal to
<= is smaller than or > equal to
Logical operators
&& AND ("and")
|| OR ("or")
! NOT ("not")
String operators
With the plus symbol (+), we can combine two strings.
For example:
 text1 = "Two strings "
 text2 = "combined"
 text3 = text1 + text2
The content of variable text 3 is now: "Two strings combined".
Programming
Term for making pieces of text in a template dynamic.
Template
A template is a digitized document.
Text
The text is understood to mean the text of a template and is to the right of the form.
User
The user is understood to mean the end user of the software.

Form	List of all steps and fields, is on the left side of a template.
If-statement	An if/then condition. If X, then Y
Mustaches	To dynamically create a document, mustaches `{{ }}` are used. To make a field editable in the text, the name of the field must be covered by two mustaches on both sides: `{{ field }}`. Without mustaches, the fields are not usable.
Operator	A symbol that is used with variables to perform various functions. Think of arithmetic or logical functions. The most commonly used operators are explained below: Arithmetic operators `+` Add `-` Subtract `` Multiply `/` Divide Comparison operators* `==` is equal to `!=` is not equal to `>` is greater than `<` is smaller than `>=` is greater than or > equal to `<=` is smaller than or > equal to Logical operators `&&` AND ("and") `\|\|` OR ("or") `!` NOT ("not") String operators With the plus symbol (`+`), we can combine two strings. For example: `text1 = "Two strings " text2 = "combined" text3 = text1 + text2` The content of variable text 3 is now: `"Two strings combined"`.
Programming	Term for making pieces of text in a template dynamic.
Template	A template is a digitized document.
Text	The text is understood to mean the text of a template and is to the right of the form.
User	The user is understood to mean the end user of the software.
