I use custom tags all the time in other tags, so I think you should be
okay.... but read on...
I first noticed the problem when I used a custom tag in an "If"
action... And then later inside of an expr attribute of an @if tag...
which if you think about it is basically the same thing, so Right now
i'm guessing that the problem is with any "expression" in witango. I'll
try to put together a test case for this at the begining of next week...
and submit it to te list and to Witango's bug reporting system.

John,
Did you get any resolution on this?
I would like to make a custom tag to treat arrays as hashes
(associative arrays in Perl & PHP). This would simplify the repeated
use of
<@ASSIGN NAME="desired_row" VALUE="<@FILTER ARRAY="array"
EXPR="#col='expr'">">
@@desired_row[1,column]
to
<@HASHREF KEY="expr" [ARRAY="array"] [KEYCOL="col"] COL="column">
But for this to be worthwhile, my result needs to be usable in other
metatags.

So... Are there known issues with using Custom Tags in expressions.
(ie, "If" Actions, expr="" attributes etc...) because It's not
something we've ever really done before, and now that I'm testing
out a couple of new custom tags that i will be doing that sort of
thing with i'm seeing some very strange behaviour. Like
"LEN(<@mycustomtag>)" where <@mycustomtag> returns an empty string,
LEN is returning "56" obviously wronge, If I assign the output of
the custom tag to a var and do a len on the var it returns 0 like
it should...
Just wanted to know if these issues were know about by anybody else
or if they are new and I should submit bug reports.
