-====== Actions ======
-An Actionaz script is made of actions that are sequentially executed.
-Every action has:
-  * a checkbox allowing you to disable it
-  * a line number or a label that allows to to identify it
-  * a parameter list
-  * a commentary (optional)
-You can specify a pause before and after the execution of the action, so as a maximum execution duration.
-===== Line number/Label =====
-{{:line_label.png|}}
-The line number or the label allows you to specify the targeted script line of a position change. (goto)
-A label allows you to set a fixed position in the script as the line number can vary.
-To define a label, double-click on the left part of the action line. Entering no text removes the label. Even if a label exists it is still possible to use the line number to identify an action.
-===== Parameter list =====
-{{:en:parameters.png|}}
-==== Input parameters ====
-Input parameters (purple background) can be of different types and can also be empty. In that case the default value will be used.
-==== Output parameters ====
-Output parameters (yellow background) allows you to retrieve data after the action has been executed. This data is stored into a variable whose name is the value of the output parameter field.
-==== Common parameters ====
-{{:en:common.png|}}
-Some parameters are common to every action:
-  * pause before: pause before executing the action
-  * pause after: pause after having executed the action
-  * timeout: maximum execution time; a Timeout exception is thrown if the execution duration exceeds this value
-===== Exceptions =====
-{{:en:exceptions.png|}}
-Exceptions are events that can be triggered during the execution of an action.
-Most of the time these are the result of an error in the action parameters. An exception is also thrown if the maximal execution time of an action is exceeded.
-Depending on the parameters chosen, an exception can interrupt the script execution, skip the current action or jump to another script line.
-===== Comment =====
-It is also possible to enter a comment to help identifying what an action does.
