I don't personally prefer it ... partly for the sake of legibility although not everyone agrees that it's harder to read... in general, I prefer for the contents of the # symbols to be "encapsulated" syntactically... so either a single variable or a function call imo is preferable. Then again I don't usually find myself with situations in which I would be performing math in the middle of a display. I usually have performed all my math prior to display. At least -- that's the case when I'm working on my own projects. I'm not sure if this carries any weight for you, but a single variable or function call is probably also closer to what's generally available / done with other languages. I.e. in some systems variables can be injected into a string using %variablename ... it's generally not available for them to specify %var1-%var2 and have it inject "1" instead of injecting "2-1". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
