Hi Allie, I'm going to take things a little out of order.
On Tuesday, January 16, 2001 18:28:13 -0500 you wrote the
following in regards to TB! v1.49 - newbie: quoting the output of
a regexp:
JR>> [...] I've tried the %WRAPPED= macro @ the

JR>> the left most position whereas the 1st line is indented by 2

Allie> If you use the %Wrapped macro the line needs to be unbroken, i.e.,

Allie> The syntax should be as follows:
Allie> %Wrapped='On %ODATEEN %QINCLUDE="otime", you wrote the following in

This is exactly what I have & you see the result above. I would
have thought it would have wrapped to the starting margin, i.e.
indented by 2 spaces (where I like it) rather than to the
leftmost position permitted. I also tried the %WRAPJUSTIFY with
the same result.

Allie> this is fine.
JR>> to %QINCLUDE="='bracket'":
Allie> Why not just %QINCLUDE="bracket": ?
Yes, under normal circumstances that's what I would have but
what I'm trying to accomplish is to have a "around the output
of the RexExp 'bracket'".
'Bracket' strips the eGroups list identifier, ex: [LIST],
leaving only the subject. So continuing with my example, let's
say the subject line for this msg (were it on eGroups) it might
be [TBUDL] TB! v1.49 - newbie quoting the output of a regexp
In my template I have replaced %OSUBJ with %QINCLUDE="bracket"
& would like to see the subject produced as:

IOW, the only time this convention is used is for a %QUOTESTYLE
macro? OK, that's easy for me to remember.

Allie> Note the doubled double quotations.
Allie> To avoid having a lot of doubled quotations you can do this:
Allie> %Macro1='Macro2="value"'
Allie> Basically you need to differentiate the recursed macros value from

Allie> quotes for the recursed macro.
You've explained this very clearly, Allie, & I understand the
concept so then my macro statement should look like this?
%WRAPPED='On %ODATEEN %QINCLUDE="OTIME", you wrote the following in regards to
%QINCLUDE='"bracket"':'
