The equals sign tells TB that you want to use the string that follows.
This is needed because there are some preconfigured options available
as well.  To select one of those options, you don't use the extra '='.

%- has two functions.  At the end of a line, it suppresses the
following line break.  So in a template:

This %-
is %-
a test.

Would output: This is a test.

The other function is as a place holder for a null string.  This is
useful when you want to separate a macro from a text string without
adding any white space.

I'm not sure what you mean.  The help file has a good listing of the
current macros.

No problem.  The way I've written them, you can put the initials
anywhere in your template by simply using a QINCLUDE statement.  See
my attribution line for an example.

anywhere. Traffic cones have rights, just like people.
