TaggingRules
TaggingRules
is an option for selections that specifies a list of strings to be associated with a selection.
- TaggingRules provides a way of storing additional information with a selection, for example, to be used by other programs in processing a notebook. It can be set to a list of one or more strings.
- With the default setting TaggingRules->None, no additional information is associated with the selection.
- Typically, structured metadata is broken up into pieces that can be identified using selector names in the form "selector"->data. The selector can then be individually queried using CurrentValue[obj, {TaggingRules, "selector"}].
- Another typical method for storing highly structured data is to use subselectors inside of selectors. For example,
. The subselectors can then be queried using CurrentValue[obj, {TaggingRules, "selector", "subselectori"}]. Subselectors can have their own subselectors, to an arbitrary depth.
- TaggingRules can be set at the cell, notebook, and global level.
