If you mean the example below, then NO it does NOT use the syntax used
in your first message (and neither do any of the others in the
TSbyex):

page.10 = RECORDS
page.10.source = 1
page.10.tables = tt_content
page.10.conf.tt_content = TEXT
page.10.conf.tt_content {
  field = header
  case = upper
  wrap = <B> | </B>
}


You've added in "something.source.field = xxx" which makes no sense in
the context you've used it.
