Syntax #

replace-string((string1)(string2))

string1

The string you want to change.

string2

The resulting string that you want to use to replace the initial string.

Purpose #

The replace-string() annotation is used to allow you to modify strings in your content without having to edit the source and reupload. This can be used to fix typographical errors, remove markup tags, replace names with new ones, and so on.

Example:

This shows an error in the name of a product. BirdsEye should not have a space, but this piece of content has the name with a space in it twice, as you can see from the highlighted portions.

replace-string-source

This is what your rule may look like to fix this problem.

replace-string-rule

The following shows you what the output may look like after this annotation is applied. The name now properly has no spaces in all instances.
