      <description>&lt;p&gt;The speedata Publisher is started via the command line (also: terminal, command window).&#xA;On the one hand there are &lt;em&gt;commands&lt;/em&gt;, on the other hand the commands can be controlled via &lt;em&gt;parameters&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;highlight&#34;&gt;&lt;pre tabindex=&#34;0&#34; class=&#34;chroma&#34;&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-shell&#34; data-lang=&#34;shell&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;line&#34;&gt;&lt;span class=&#34;cl&#34;&gt;$ sp &amp;lt;Command&amp;gt; &amp;lt;Parameter&amp;gt; &amp;lt;Parameter&amp;gt; ...&#xA;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;admonitionblock&#34;&gt;&#xA;  &lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&#xA;    &lt;td class=&#34;icon&#34;&gt;&lt;svg height=&#34;1.5em&#34; xmlns=&#34;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#34; fill=&#34;none&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 24 24&#34; stroke-width=&#34;2&#34; stroke=&#34;currentColor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;path stroke-linecap=&#34;round&#34; stroke-linejoin=&#34;round&#34; d=&#34;M9.663 17h4.673M12 3v1m6.364 1.636l-.707.707M21 12h-1M4 12H3m3.343-5.657l-.707-.707m2.828 9.9a5 5 0 117.072 0l-.548.547A3.374 3.374 0 0014 18.469V19a2 2 0 11-4 0v-.531c0-.895-.356-1.754-.988-2.386l-.548-.547z&#34;/&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#xA;    &lt;td class=&#34;content&#34;&gt;On Windows/PowerShell you have to run &lt;code&gt;sp.exe&lt;/code&gt; since &lt;code&gt;sp&lt;/code&gt; is an internal command of PowerShell.&lt;/td&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&#xA;&lt;/div&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The default command is &lt;code&gt;run&lt;/code&gt;.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The speedata publisher can be configured in several ways:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The file publisher.cfg in &lt;code&gt;/etc/speedata/&lt;/code&gt;, in the home directory (with a leading dot) and in the current working directory (Linux, Mac)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The file &lt;code&gt;%APPDATA%\speedata\publisher.cfg&lt;/code&gt; on Windows.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Parameters given on the command line&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Options given in the layout file&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;The file &lt;code&gt;publisher.cfg&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span id=&#34;the-file-publishercfg&#34; style=&#34;position:absolute;margin-top:-5rem;&#34;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#xA;    &lt;a href=&#34;#the-file-publishercfg&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The file publisher.cfg (&lt;code&gt;/etc/speedata/publisher.cfg&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;$HOME/.publisher.cfg&lt;/code&gt; and in the current working directory) is a text file that is read at the beginning of the publisher run. The default file looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;dl&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Area&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;See Placement Area.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Database Publishing&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;General term that describes a set of techniques for bringing (XML) data into an output format (such as PDF), often using Adobe InDesign.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Group&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;Virtual areas that start with a size of (0.0) and grow as the content grows.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Layout function&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;Functions that are structured like XPath functions and are related to layout issues. For example, these functions can be used to determine the width of groups or output the current page number.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Layout set of rules&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;An XML file with the root element &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;Layout&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; that contains layout instructions. Set of rules because this is where the rules are defined according to which the data is arranged in the PDF.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Placement area&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;Also &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;PositioningArea&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. Contains one or more rectangular areas (text frames) that are addressed under the same name. Will be redefined for each page. The whole page has the name &lt;code&gt;_page&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Text frame&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;Also called positioning frame or &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;PositioningFrame&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. Parts of a placement area.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;Well-formed&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;An XML file is well-formed if at least the following conditions are met (from &lt;a href=&#34;https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Markup_Language#Wohlgeformtheit&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noreferrer&#34;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The document contains only properly encoded legal Unicode characters.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;None of the special syntax characters such as &amp;lt; and &amp;amp; appear except when performing their markup-delineation roles.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The start-tag, end-tag, and empty-element tag that delimit elements are correctly nested, with none missing and none overlapping.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tag names are case-sensitive; the start-tag and end-tag must match exactly.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tag names cannot contain any of the characters &lt;code&gt;!&amp;quot;#$%&amp;amp;&#39;()*+,/;&amp;lt;=&amp;gt;?@[\]^{|}~&lt;/code&gt;, nor a space character, and cannot begin with &amp;ldquo;&lt;code&gt;-&lt;/code&gt;&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;&lt;code&gt;.&lt;/code&gt;&amp;rdquo;, or a numeric digit.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A single root element contains all the other elements.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;dt&gt;XPath&lt;/dt&gt;&#xA;&lt;dd&gt;Computer language that is specialized for data queries in XML trees. Typical questions are &amp;ldquo;What is the content of the &amp;rsquo;name&amp;rsquo; attribute?&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;Is there a child element named &amp;lsquo;chapter&amp;rsquo;? The language is often used together with XSLT (XSL Transformation). A subset of the XPath language is built into the Publisher.&lt;/dd&gt;&#xA;&lt;/dl&gt;</description>
