xfj:match

This element is a child of xfj:apply-rules.

The xfj:match element specifies a rule to include or exclude a set of pages from having the overlay applied to them. The syntax is as follows:

<xfj:match rule="match_function"/>

The match function can be one of these:

•	all - all pages of the DAL job

•	first - first page of the DAL job

•	last - last page of the DAL job

•	odd - odd pages of the DAL job

•	even - even pages of the DAL job

•	first(document_id) - first page of document document_id

•	last(document_id) - last page of document document_id

•	odd(document_id) - odd pages of document document_id

•	even(document_id) - even pages of document document_id

•	include(document_id) - all pages of document document_id

•	exclude(document_id) - do not match the whole document document_id

•	exclude(match_function) - do not match the rule specified by the match function in the argument

Note: The document_id refers to the id attribute of an xfj:document in the DAL job.

Note: The exclude() function accepts other match functions as parameters, enabling constructs such as: exclude(last), exclude(first(document1)), exclude(odd(document2)), etc. All functions are supported as an argument except include() and exclude().

Note: When multiple xfj:match elements exist, the rules are applied in the order in which they appear, with the exclude rules having greater priority.

Example:

<xfj:apply-rules>

<xfj:match rule="all"/>

<xfj:match rule="exclude(document1)"/>

<xfj:match rule="exclude(first)"/>

</xfj:apply-rules>

This will match all the pages in the DAL, excluding the first page of the job and all pages of document1.
