Btw, do you have any tips on how to keep the text field from splitting? I was looking at TiddlyTools which said to write text which has a comma in it like so: "Here is some text, here is more." When I toss that in using your code, I get:
"Here is some text <--- body here is more <--- custom field I then tried writing it as ""Here is some text, here is more."" just to see if that produced a different response. Nope.
