Hello tbbeta200409203600,

Why don't you SIMPLY open the helpfile instead of going into lengthy
discussions with me? Its all THERE, here:

--- cut ---

WRAPPED = "text" ...insert text wrapped as specified by the default
editor settings. You can freely use template macros from this list
within the text. This macro is very useful when using a lot of macros
to generate the text and want that text to be well laid out. For best
effect, place the %WRAPPED="text" macro at the beginning of a new line

WRAPPED(limit, "text") ...macro for more precise text wrapping. Set
value of Limit to the number of symbols were you want auto wrapping to
be done

--- cut ---

> You can vainly argue whether -- as I quoted from TFM --

You don't even read what information is at your hands, read whats in
the HELP file and what I already wrote, yet you keep up argueing where
there is no need to argue, because after:

>  | new syntax for macros: it is now possible to use brackets instead
>  | of ="..."

follows:

"(in some cases it is now required, for example in macros with more
than one parameter)" ...and I already did quote that three mails ago.

And if you look at the "parenthesis-version" of the %WRAPPED macro now
you'll easily see (be afraid!) - it has more than one parameter, and
that is 1. limit and 2. text, and thus is *requires* parenthesis.

Now we could argue if its logic or not, that if you pass only one
parameter, you can't use the parenthesis version, but thats a
different story, and IMHO it has to do with preserving compatibility
to older versions, and that is a good thing.

It behaves differently when you use parenthesis. That may be why MaxXx
has the problems he has, and thats what I said in my very first reply
to him, but you successfully keep ignoring that. Congratulations.

Well, if the macro has more than one parameter - as stated in the
helpfile. *SIGH*

Ask yourself, man.
