paramNames
Description
This attribute is a comma-separated list of parameter names whose values are being extracted. These parameters are
assigned in the order of the subexpression. You can assign single parameters or use a comma-separated list to assign
multiple parameters. If other parenthetical expressions are used but do not indicate parameters, extra commas can be
used as placeholders in the Parameter Name list.
The parameter names should match the ones that are specified in the insertion text and the update parameters.

Type
Attribute.
Required
Yes.
Values
paramName1, paramName2, ...
Each parameter name should be the exact name of a parameter that is used in the insertion text. For example, if the
insertion text contains
@@p1@@ , you should define exactly one parameter with that name:
patterns
To extract multiple parameters using a single pattern, use a comma-separated list of parameter names, in the order
that the subexpressions appear in the pattern. Suppose the following example shows your search pattern:
/(\w+)_(BIG|SMALL)_(\w+)/
There are two parameters (with some text in between them) to extract. Given the text: <%= a_BIG_b %> , the first
subexpression in the search pattern matches a , so p1="a" . The second subexpression is ignored (notice the ,, in the
paramName value). The third subexpression matches b , so p2="b" .
limitSearch
Description
This attribute limits the search to some part of the
whereToSearch tag.
