In general, any information can be entered into the notebook. However, if you use an application that works with points (statistics, graph, summarization, evaluation), then it will search the contents of the notebook for sequences of characters starting with an asterisk (*) followed by numbers, a minus sign (-), a decimal point (.) or a decimal comma (,). This sequence may occur anywhere in the content and any number of times. Examples of allowed point value notations:
*23
*-14
*3.5
*8,2
A scoring assessment beginning with asterisk can appear anywhere within the text, e.g. it is allowed:
The 1st example was worse *3.5, the 2nd was better *8 and the *third* was the best *100!
If you enter multiple point values in one content, they are always added together first before being used again. The values 3.5, 8, and 100 are selected from the example line for addition purposes (so the sum is 111.5). Numbers not immediately preceded by an asterisk are ignored when processing points; likewise, asterisks not immediately followed by a digit, minus sign, period, or comma are ignored.
Negative numbers and decimal numbers are allowed. Decimal numbers must contain a decimal point or a decimal comma. Often, rounding to two decimal places occurs in the subsequent processing of decimal numbers.
The application loads the specified notebooks either in their entirety or only a limited list of studies. It only processes content that contains at least one score (the number after the asterisk). If more than one score is found in the content, then they are added together before use. From the values found, an overview statistic is calculated, or a graph is displayed according to the user's instructions.
Tip: Bulk addition of asterisksYou can also insert asterisks in front of selected numbers in the notebook using the application.
