It still needs some work to finish it off, so any suggestions on how to fill the remaining space on the card, or corrections gratefully received. Wow, this is fantastic. Below are a few things I have on my own "cheat sheet" that aren't on the refcard. Somebody holler if any of these are bogus. Virtual methods: scalar.chunk(size) # negative size chunks from R to L scalar.list # treat as a single-item list scalar.size # returns "1", as if it was single-item list hash.exists(key) # does key exist? hash.defined(key) # same as hash.key.defined? hash.size # number of pairs hash.item(key) # same as hash.key (when key is _expression_) hash.list # returns [ key1, val1, key2, val2, ... ] list.grep(re) # list of items matching re list.unique # list of unique elements, retains order list.merge(list1, [list2, ...] ) # combines all lists into new one list.slice(from, to) # returns subset list.splice(offset, len, [list]) # modifies list Special variable "loop" methods: size, index, prev, next Filters: html_entity # fix all entites, not just < and > (which is what "html" does) html_line_break # convert "newline" chars to <br> ucfirst lcfirst Also, some suggestions regarding directive syntax: [% INSERT filename %] # I don't think you can "insert" a block [% MACRO name[(varlist)] directive %] # optional "prototype" syntax for predeclaring variables to be localized in param list [% USE [var =] plugin[(params}] %] # optionally assign return value to a variable Maybe the [var = value ...] option could be added to the PROCESS and WRAPPER directives? Thanks for sharing this with us, it's a big help! Jason Added most of those corrections as well as a couple from Andy W, and have put a new version up on refcards.com.  I'll add the corrections I missed tomorrow (too tired to think now).
