SignNow
Send generated documents automatically for Signing.
SignNow is an award-winning e-signature solution known for its easy-to-use and comprehensive toolkit. Effortlessly sign documents using electronic signatures and make them legally binding in seconds!
SignNow Simple Text Tags (Anchor Tags) are specially formatted text that can be placed anywhere within the content of your document specifying the location, size, type of fields such as signature, text, initial fields.
1. To use text tags, you must add them to your document before uploading.
The full set looks like: {t:[s/i/t/d/c];r:[y/n];o:"Role";l:"date";w:width;l:length;v:"validator_id";}
For example: Signature and Date field
{t:s;r:y;o:"Signer1";}
{t:t;r:y;o:"Signer1";l:"Date";}
Example Document with SignNow Text Tags
Adjusting the size of the SignNow fields is as simple as adjusting the text tag font size; a larger font results in a larger field and vice versa.
For example, the text tags being used for the ‘Date’ line are the following:
{t (for the Type of field): t (for Text): r (for Required): y (for Yes): o (for Role): “Signer1”; l (for Label): “Date”;}
The text tags being used on first the ‘Sign here’ line are the following:
{t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Signer1”;}
The text tags being used on the second ‘Sign here’ line are the following:
{t (for Type of field): s (for Signature); r (for Required): y (for Yes); o (for Role): “Signer2”;}
The table below shows the most widely used text tags in SignNow along with the types of fields for which these text tags can be applied.
KEY | What does it mean? | Accepted format & values | When fields need this KEY? |

Here is the full documentation from SignNow, https://www.signnow.com/features/add-text-tags-to-the-document
The default format for the date field is 'mm/dd/yyyy'. This can be edited as per requirement by appending a validator key at the end of the Date Text Tag.
Sample Text Tags for a specific date format:
