Generator
Uids are generally generated by a computer. Instead of copying generated Uids manually into Idan files, they can be generated and inserted into the right spots with a single command. The Idan file therefore needs to have these spots marked. The mark form is called the “generator”.
A generator can be placed anywhere a Uid can be placed in an Idan document, including the header entries. Once the processing software goes over the file, all the generators will be replaced by fresh new unique Uids. Each generator gets its own unique Uid. A generator looks like this:
<%>
To get the Uid %
literally (not recommended without a good reason but technically possible), you can write <\%>
