Help:ASK

ASK is Centiare's parser function free-form query tool that can be used in conjunction with the query-by-form tool. The following example produces the report below:

<ask>
[[City:=*]]
[[State Code:=*|State]]
[[Zip:=*]]
[[Latitude:=>39.0]][[Latitude:=<40.0]][[Latitude:=*|Latitude]]
</ask>

<ask> * State * >39.0Property "Latitude" (as page type) with input value ">39.0" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.<40.0Property "Latitude" (as page type) with input value "" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.Latitude </ask>

(The above query shows all Centiare articles where a Latitude attribute between 39 degrees and 40 degrees North has been tagged.)
