Numbers do not need to be enclosed by single quotes

<mvt:eval expr="(10+10) * 5" />

100

Using Expressions

Any value contained in the value attribute will automatically be treated as an expression. This means text will be treated as variables and any function available with the Miva Empresa engine (link) will be evaluated.

<mvt:eval expr="substring(l.myvariable, 2, len(l.myvariable) " />

Finds the substring of l.myvariable starting at the second character until the end of the string and outputs that value to the page.

Using Concatenation

The $ is the concatenation operator in the Miva Template Language can everything is evaluated, it can be used in the value attribute within the mvt:assign tag.

<mvt:eval expr=" 'The length of this string is: ' $ len('hello world') " />

Output:

The length of this string is: 11
