Hi Aiden
Thanks for the effort. But this is the problem: it stamps {{!!source}}
instead of stamping the contents of the source field. So when I copy and
paste this to another tiddler, it will show as whatever is in the source
field of that tiddler. I need something that stamps the field content as
text.
