Ed,
Perhaps an alternate strategy is to just copy the code ICKToz7BLLA the
generate a link or two
In this case you could use [<code>addprefix[https://www.youtube.com/embed/]]
But you can also take the link and
[{!!url}removeprefix[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=]addprefix[https://www.youtube.com/embed/]]";
Regards
Tony
