> The following text is taken from an irc discussion I had with Tom
> concerning the .MOD consolidation rules for the Template file tags:
> [Arch_SB]thpr I guess my recommendation would be this:
> [Arch_SB]thpr if you run into anything that claims to append but the docs
> dont' have a separator character
> [Arch_SB]thpr be concerned
> [Arch_SB]thpr if you run into anything that claims to overwrite but the
> docs do list a separator
> [Arch_SB]thpr be concerned
> [Arch_SB]thpr except: UDAM, CAST, KNOWN, SPECIALITYKNOWN will overwrite
> [Arch_SB]thpr even though they have separator characters
> [Arch_SB]thpr alternately
> [Arch_SB]thpr you can check them yourself :)
> [Arch_SB]thpr if you go into the token code in plugin.lsttokens
> [Arch_SB]thpr it should be pretty straightforward as to which tokens are
> which names
> [Arch_SB]thpr ObjectKey will indicate overwriting
> [Arch_SB]thpr ListKey generally is appending (with the exceptions listed
> above)
> [Arch_SB]thpr though ListKey can also be separate
> [Arch_SB]thpr difference in those is found in unparse
> [Arch_SB]thpr separate items will put into a List or Set and then do a
> .toArray on the List or Set
> [PR_SB]Maredudd Got it. I can do that check as I go through them. I can
> read that much code . . . :-)
> [Arch_SB]thpr appending items will use a StringBuilder or will call
> StringUtil.join() or ReferenceUtilities.join() on the List or Set
> [Arch_SB]thpr keep track of the ones that aren't somewhat obvious and I
> can double check them if you drop me a ntoe
> [Arch_SB]thpr oh and StringKey and IntegerKey are also overwriting
> [Arch_SB]thpr MApKey items are selectively overwriting
> [Arch_SB]thpr (e.g. ASPECT)
> [Arch_SB]thpr that will handle all but a handful of tokens

> SUBREGION and SUBRACE are overwriting tags, not appending tags.

> Tom, take a look at the Template File docs and let me know if I am
> tackling this in the way you envisioned.
