âś… Summary
- Use the codes listed above to define page size, column names, fonts, dates, and data grid output.
- Start and end codes are placed around the data placeholder (e.g., @#DeliveryNo$#).
- Alternate rows in the table help you locate a specific code quickly.
- Apply ~right for right‑aligned data and ~date/~time for dynamic timestamps.
- Combine font‑size (^14^) and bold (^27^^71^) codes for emphasized text.
