  • {{Done}} - "Done"
  • {{TimeSpent}} - "Time spent"
  • {{LastChange}} - "Last change"
  • {{GeneratedBy}} - "Generated by"

And parameters the values which, depending on the command line switches:

  • {{PERIOD}} - depending on the switch -Aggregate gives: "Lesson", "Date", "Section" or "Course"
  • {{SPEED}} - depending on the switch -WPM.. gives: "Speed, WPM", "Speed, CPM" etc.
  • {{ACCURACY}} - depending on the switch -WordAccuracy.. gives: "Accuracy, words", "Accuracy, characters" etc.
  • {{TIMEOUT}} - depending on the switch -WordAccuracy.. gives: "Timeout, words", "Timeout, characters"
