Below is the setting that places this topic under approval control.
   * Set APPROVALDEFINITION = ApprovalDefinitionExample

We can now use any of the =%<nop>APPROVAL{...}%= tags in this topic:

   * Show the state message
      * ==%<nop>APPROVAL{"statemessage"}%==
      * %APPROVAL{"statemessage"}%

   * Show a preference setting defined in the definition topic
      * ==%<nop>APPROVAL{"pref" name="MYPREF"}%==
      * %APPROVAL{"pref" name="MYPREF"}%

   * Show the transition form
      * ==%<nop>APPROVAL{"transition"}%==
      * %APPROVAL{"transition"}%

We can also set a preference for the history format in the following way:
   * Set APPROVALHISTORYFORMAT = "| $state | $wikiusername | $date |"

The history is displayed by using the ==%<nop>APPROVAL{"history"}%== variable.

| *State* | *Name* | *Date* |
%APPROVAL{"history"}%
