Values have been substituted for the variables – For example, "First Edition Publishing" in place of "[[File.Full_Matter_Name]]".

Where a value is unavailable, a blank or "(No data found)" is shown.

And where a variable bracket is missing, or the syntax of a command is incorrect, it is printed as is, making it easy to spot. (This kind of problem should be fixed while the template is being designed.)

Edit content and formatting – Edit the text and change the formatting before sending or saving, if you like.
