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

None of these clippings are supplied with BBEdit (in fact, none are nor have been for many years), and since I can't see what's in them, I can't tell you why they misbehave. :-) This is probably a matter for Tech Support.

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.

Note that there needs to be a space between the end of "DATETIME" and the format string. Thus:

    #DATETIME _y#"

will give you the year prefixed with an underscore.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
