Hey Tones,
After sleeping on it, I realized the wisdom of your helpful tips. I used
the addprefix operator to great advantage.
I replaced the following:
archive={{{ [title<temp>get[archive]] }}}
with:
archive={{{ [title<temp>get[archive]addprefix[.\Archival_images\]] }}}
I also removed the second wikify statement. This did just exactly what I
needed it to do. Thanks for the tips. It was a bit too subtle for my sleepy
mind last night.
I still don't understand why the other method was doing what it was doing
with the repeated string. If anyone can explain that to me, I would greatly
appreciate it.
