Thank you Rich. I now understand the red question mark. But I got the erroneous "min:sec" format by experimentally clicking on "date & time" in the Universal clippings offering of the popup menu. There's something major I don't understand about clippings. I type "d" and hit F5, and get a popup which includes • date • date • date & time • date_format • date_parse_from_format 1 and 3 get me the erroneous "min:sec" format, 2 gets "<date></date>", 4 and 5 get an error box saying "An attempt was made to resolve an Apple Event reference to a non-existent object (MacOS Error code: -1728)" If I just type in #DATETIME_y#, which ought to produce the year, I get the format string showing up in the output. I am confused. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group. If you have a feature request or would like to report a problem, please email "[email protected]" rather than posting to the group.
