Thank you. It's been a couple of years since I tried to modify Clippings, and they weren't called that then :-) I did read the manual on 288 but I thought the wording was so geeky that I was more confused by the examples that followed than helped. Although I read Greek and used to read Hebrew, I could not follow the purpose of each placeholder.... But I do appreciate the help. I figure it was as simple as it used to be, but I just couldn't find the relevant text in the manual.
How English it would be to describe the function like this: "If you want to insert a clipping to enclose a specific selection of text, in other words par of the clipping before and part after the selection, use #selection#. " And instead of using piping and code as an example, use something more simple Like Original text: bar Clipping: Foo#Selection#.html = Foobar.html Just my 2 ยข Thanks again.
