Element <export_format>

Info	Placed inside the <card> to determine how the card format will be displayed when exporting to a text file. Uses the standard printf and sprintf format (www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf/). “#card_name” should be used when displaying the card. When using an element that starts with “custom_control”, a user can use the # character to get to the value or units.

Versions	1, 2
Attributes	none
Children	none
Used by	option
Example	We have a combo box and one of the options is Equilibrium which is selected. If the file is exported and the <export_text> card is omitted we would write out: FORMULATION Equilibrium However, if we wanted to write out EQ instead, we would use the <export_text> tag. The exported line would look like: FORMULATION EQ <combo_box> <unique_name>formulationUnits</unique_name> <option> <text>Equilibrium</text> <export_text>EQ</export_text> </option> … <card> <card_name>FORMULATION</card_name> <export_format>"%s %s\n, #card_name, formulationUnits </card> </combo_box>
