Purpose

This lets you create a python-like loop to dynamically use data. This uses the dynamic rml dtd. See the relevant rml sample here.

Example usage

<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "../dynamic_rml.dtd">
<document filename='test_020_dynamic.pdf'>
    ...
    <story>
        <loop_b var="i" in="range(5)">
            <para>pass <expr>i</expr>: this adds dynamic capabilities</para>
        </loop_b>
    </story>
</document>

Note: Only relevant sections are used in this snippet. Some tags were not included. See some of our samples for further insight of how you may go about setting up a full document using rml.
